PREFATORY NOTICE.
This, the thirty-first edition of ray Peerage and Baronetage, is respectfully sub-
mitted to the public as a further proof of my coutinued endeavour to keep pace
with the kind aud favourable reception which attends each appearance of the
work. I have again subjected its pages to searching revision and extensive
amendment ; and I am glad to be able to state that the whole book is kept in
type, so that alterations and additions are made at the time their necessity
occurs — thus aflfording greater security for perfect correctness.
I persevere in my views with respect to heraldic accuracy and the better
depicting of the arms. Eiu'ther additions have been made to the mass of armorial
ensigns, which, with a view to artistic excellence, have been entirely redrawn and re-
engraved, at a great expense. Errors in the arms of peers aud baronets are frequent,
and, from long erroneous adoption, are not easily detected. Faulty records of armorial
ensigns abound ; and to avoid these, I have, in every instance, referred to the very
highest authorities ; but even there, I now and then discover doubts existing. I
often find it extremely difficult to come to a completely accurate conclusion ; and
especially so in the matter of " Supporters." Where, therefore, I do not feel quite
sure, I omit the engraving and give only the blazon or written account. On the
whole, I trust I am successful in rendering the heraldry of this book far more safe
to be relied on than that of any other work, past or present, of a similar description.
The genealogies, too, have been, in many instances, corrected by the researches
consequent on the revision of the recently published edition of my Dormant and
Extinct Peerage, — a volume all important as a companion to this, illustrative as it is
in so especial a degree, of our ancient nobility.
"With regard to three or four of the older English Baronetcies, and especially to
some of those of Nova Scotia, I cannot but remark that there is much doubt as to
whether those dignities still legally exist ; but since the bearers of them are publicly,
and often oificially, recognised as Baronets, I can do no more than set out, in each
instance where there is only one claimant, the facts and pedigree given, and leave
the matter for refutation, or for further elucidation, as the case may be.
I have to claim kind indulgence on a particular point. The recent election, and
change of administration have occurred while this edition was in the pi'ess, and it
became extremely difficult, and in some instances impossible, to effect the consequent
alterations. However, the returns to Parliament, and the new appointments are of
such notoriety, that I trust the reader will be able to easily supply the deficiency.
All the newly created Peers and Baronets are, nevertheless, duly given.
I should also observe that, in this edition of the Peerage and Baronetage,
I have again had the assistance of Mr. Serjeant Burke.
"With these remarks, I hopefully and gratefully confide this thirty-first edition
of my Peerage and Baronetage to that kind aud friendly public patronage which
through so many years has cheered my labours and maintained the prosperity of the
work.

INTRODUCTION.
3Sar0u 6i} Cniur^,*
A dignity attached to the possession of certain lands held,
according to the feudal system, directly under the crown, and con-
ditionally upon the performance of some honorary services to the
king ; such as attending liim in the field and the cabinet, and
furnishing a stipulated quota of knights, or men-at-arms ; which
quota was regulated by the territorial possessions of the baron,
those possessions being divided into allotments, for each of which
be was required to provide a knight, armed cap-a-pie, whenever the sovereign commanded
his presence in the field ; hence, according to the number of warriors the feudal lord
provided, he was said to possess so many kn'u/hts' fees. But in the reign of King John,
an alceration of great importance took place in the rights of the Barons and tenants in
capite, for only the principal Barons, or JBarones Majores, were summoned to attend
parliament by particular Avi-its from the King ; and the rest, who acquired the appellation
of Barones Minores, were called by one general summons from the sheriffs of their respective
counties ; and in the following i'eign,t some new law is said to Lave been made, by which
it was established that no person, though possessed of a barony, should come to parliament
without being expressly summoned by the King's writ. Barony by tenure has ceased for
ages, and, indeed, its very existence is a matter of serious question and doubt. Of late
years claims have been made to dignities by right of teuure ; but, as yet, none of these
claims have proved successful. There is, however, one earldom extant — that of Arundel,
which the ducal house of Norfolk enjoys by the feudal tenure of Arundel Castle ; but this
honour endures by special act of parliament, passed in the 3rd year of King Charles I.
To Barons by tenure succeeded
23ar0n^ iii SZtCrtt,
Or persons elevated to the rank of nobility by being summoned to attend the king in
council, or parliament ; which writs were of that description called hrevia clausa, from
being closed with wax, and impressed with the great seal of England. The first of these
summonses upon record appears to have been tested on the 24th of December, in the 49th
year of Henry III. ; from which period no similar writ seems to have issued until the
22nd year of Edward I., when about sixty persons were summoned to attend the king,
" wheresoever he might be, to advise on the affairs of the kingdom ;" but it has been
questioned whether that summons constituted a peer of parliament.
To establish an hereditary Barony by \N'rit, it was requisite, according to some, says Sir
William Blackstone, that two wi'its of summons should have issued, and a sitting in two
parliaments have taken place ; but this is a misa2:)23rehension ; for in the case of the Barony
of Clifton, there was but one writ and one sitting, and that barony was allowed. Baronies
by AV'rit are heritable by heirs male or female ; but in the event of the decease of the
baron without issue male, and with more daughters than one, the barony falls into abey-
ance;}; amongst them, and so continues until none but one of the daughters, or the sole heir
of one of the daughters, survive. The crown cah, however, at any time especially interfere,
and terminate the abeyance in favour of any of the co-heirs, but it cannot alienate the
barony from the representatives of the first baron : it is imperative that it be conferred
upon one of those. The mode of tei'minating an abeyance ia favour of a commoner is, by
summoning the individual by the title of the barony which had been in abeyance. The
course observed towards a peer of a higher dignity is, the issue of letters-patent by the
crown in confirmation of the barony ; and a similar course, that of patent, is adopted
towards heiresses.
* Lord Coke has observed, that in ancient records the Bai-ony included all the nobility of England ;
because, regularly, all noblemen were Barons, though they had a higher dignity ; and the great council of
the nobility, -when there were besides Earls and Barons Dukes and Marquesses, were all comprehended
under the name of the " Council de Baronage."
f Matthew Paris states, that there were two hundred and fifty baronies in the time of Henry III. ; but
there were not so many barons, for several feudal lords held a plurality of baronies. In this reign, the
prerogative of the crown regai-ding barons was settled by an act of parliament, passed in consequence of
the quarrel between the king and Simon de Montfort ; and thenceforward no nobleman could sit in
parliament without a writ of summons. But there was this material difference between the greater and
the lesser barons; — these were summoned at the pleasure of the crown ; those, as a matter of right.
J Abeyance. — When this inheritance (a barony falling amongst co-heiresses) is in the donnant state, it
ia said to be in abeyance ; not in the oi'dinary sense of the term iu which it is applied to an estate in fee-
simple, or freehold in suspense, floating, fixing nowhere, and vesting in no one ; but it simply denotes that
the title to a barony which has descended upon and is vested in co-heirs, remains in them in an active and
dormant state, incapable of being asserted or being enjoyed. It falls into abeyance because, in point of
right ; no one co-heir can sustain a claim to it, and because all the co-heirs together, though they constitute
the complete heir to the ancestor, cannot claim it with effect, and therefore cannot claim it at all. — Cruise
upon Dignities,
INTRODUCTION. xi
The mode of creating peers by writ of summons has been, however, a long time discon-
tinued, and the only wi-its now issued are those to the eldest sons of Dukes, Marquesses,
and Earls,* in their fathers' baronies ; but any such writ does not create a new barony, the
honour being still descendible according to the original limitation. If, however, a writ of
summons issue to the eldest son of a peer, as a baron, under a misapprehension that the
barony had been vested in his father, then the writ is deemed a new creation, and the dig-
nity is heritable as a barony by writ. Tliis was estabbshed in 1736, by the decision
regarding the Barony of Strange, in which James Stanley liad been summoned in 1628,
under the supposition tliat the barony had belonged to his father, William, 6th Earl of
Derby ; and again, in the similar case of the Barony of Clifford. The first writ to an elder
son is stated to have issued in the 22nd year of King Edward IV., when Thomas FitzAlan
was summoned to pai'liament (in his father's, the Earl Arundel's barony) as Baron Mal-
travers. A.s Barons by Tenure gave place to Barons by AVrit, so the latter have been
superseded by
3Barott^ fiti Erttrr^ Patent,
The first instance of which occurred in the reign of Richard II., when John Beau-
champ, of Holt, was elevated to the peerage as Baroii Beauchamp of Kiddei-minster,
by letters-patent, dated the 10th of October, 1387. Lord Beaiichamp never took his seat,
however, in parliament, as he died in the same year, and was succeeded by his son, with
whom the dignity expired in 1420. In olden time it was deemed necessary to invest with
robes the newly created baron in open parliament ; and so lately as the era of King
James I., that monarch in person solemnly inducted the barons created by patent in the
13th year of his reign, by enrobing each peer in scarlet, with a hood furred with miniver :
but in the same year it was determined to discontinue those ceremonies in future, the legal
advisers of the crown having declared that the delivery of the letters-patent constituted
a sufiicient creation ; and in the patents of more modei'n times the ceremony of public
investiture is expressly disj^ensed with.
Barons are styled " Right Honourable," and addressed officially by the crown, " Right
trusty and well-beloved."
Coronet of a Baron — On a plaiu circle of gold, six silver balls : cap of crimson velvet, turned up
ermine ; thereon a golden tassel.
The next grade in the British Peerage is that of lice-Comes, of
Viscount, which title formerly applied to the sheriff of a county,
but was not vised as a designation of nobility before the reign of
Henry VI., when that monarch created John, Baron Beaumont,
K.G., by letters-patent dated 12 February, 1440, Viscount Beaumont,
a dignity which expired with his lordship's son and successor in
1507. A viscountcy is always created by patent, and it descends
according to the specified limitation. The honour was originally conferred as an advance-
nient to barons, but afterwards created frequently with the barony ; and in modern times
it has been conferred without a barony, as in the instance of Viscount Leinster, Viscount
Sidmouth, Viscount Stratford, ikc.
The style of a Viscount is "Right Honourable," and he is officially addressed by the
Crown as " Our right trusty and weU-beloved Cousin."
Coronet — On a jewelled circle of gold chased as jewelled, a row of fourteen silver balls ; cap of
crimson velvet, turned up ermine ; thereon a golden tassel.
earl.t
The dignity of Earl, which existed in England before the Conquest,
was, according to Zvlr. Cruise, originally annexed to a particular tract
of land ; and there were three descriptions of Earldoms.
" The first was where the dignity was annexed to the seisin and
possession of an entire county, with jura regalia ; in which case
the county became palatine, and the person created Earl thereof
acquired regal jurisdiction and royal seigniory. By reason of the
royal jurisdiction, the Earl Palatine had all the high coixrts and offices of justice which the
There is an instance, in the reign of King Charles I., of the son and heir of a baron who possessed
two baronies having been summoned to parliament in one of them. The Hon. Couyei-s Darey, son of
Conyers, Baron of Darcy and Conyers (who was subsequently created Earl of Holderness) was summoned
to parliament in his father's barony of Conyers in 1680.
t Spelman was of opinion that the title of Earl was derived from the Germans; and having been
adopted from them by the French, was rendered feudal and hereditary by Hugh Capet.

king had, with a civil and criminal juriadiction ; and by reason of liia royal seigniory he had
all the royal services and all the royal estreats which the king had ; so that, in fact, a county
palatine was in every respect a feudal kingdom of itself, Ijut held of a superior lord." *
The second description of Earldom was that which derived the title only from a county,
but had no territorial possession annexed to it within the county, nor any of the pi'ivileges
of an Earl Palatine, and whose revenue arose from participating in the profits derivable
from the i^leas of the county court.
The third kind of Earldom was constituted by the crowai's granting a considerable tract
of land, to be held '' ppr servium uniiis comitatusr
For several centuries, Earldoms have been created by letters-patent, and the descent of
the honour regulated accordingly. The ancient ceremony of investiture, as in other
dionities, has beon discontinued ; and the custom of deriving the title from some county
or" town has been extended, in consequence of the number of earls, to villages, private
estates, and family surnames.
The style of an Earl is, "Riglit Honourable," and he is officially addressed by the
Crown as "Our right trusty and well-beloved Cousin."t
He bears also, upon some occasions, the title of " Most Noble and Puissant Pi-ince."
Coronet — A circle chased as jewelled, upon which rise eight pyramidical points, gold; each point
bearinf a large silver ball, and between each point, close to the coronet's rim, a strawberry -leaf, also
gold : cap of crimson-velvet, turned up ermine ; thereon a golden tassel.
A Marquess {]\IarcJ/iu),m the next degree of nobility. "His office
(says Sir WiUiam Blackstone) formerly was (for dignity and duty
were never separated by our ancestors) to guard tlie frontiers and
limits of the kingdom, which were called the marches, from the
Teutonic word ' marche,' a limit ; as in particular Avere the marches
of Wales and Scotland, while each continued to be an enemy's
countr3\ The persons who had command there were called Lords
Marches, or Marqiiesses, whose authority was abolished by statute
27th Henry VIII. , thougli the title had long ])efore been made a mere ensign of honour."
The first English Marquessate was conferred by King Richard II., in 1386, upon
Robert de Yere, who was created Marquess of Dublin, and in the next year, Duke of
Ireland. His grace vras, however, banished and attainted in 1388, when his honours
became forfeited. And the second creation of the same dignity occurs in the same reign,
when John Beaufort, Earl of Somerset (eldest legitimated natural son of John of Gaunt),
was created, 29th September, 1397, Marqiiess of Dorset. From that period the dignity of
Marquess appeare to have remained dormant until the reign of Edward VI., but thence-
forward it became a regular and common gi-ade of nobility.
A Marquessate is invai'iably created by letters -patent, and the descent regulated
accordingly.
The style of a Marquess is "Most Honourable," and he is officially addressed by the
Crown as " Our right trusty and entirely -beloved Cousin."
He bears also the title, iipon some occasions, of " Most Noble and Puissant Prince."
Coronet — On a jewelled circle of gold, four strawberry leaves and four pearls, alternately cap of
crimson velvet, turned up ermine ; thei-eon a golden tassel.
JSiiftc.
The Dukedom, the most elevated dignity in the English peerage,
was first introduced by King Edward III., who, in 1337, created
his eldest son, Edward the Black Prince (then Earl of Chester),
Duke of Cornwall, and subsequently Prince of Wales, when the
Dukedom merged in the principality, and has ever since been
vested in the heir apparent to the crown, who, at his birth,
becomes Duke of Cornwall. The second Dukedom was conferred,
on the 6th March, 1351, upon Henry Plantagenet (son and heir of the Earl of Derby),
under the title of Duke of Lancaster, which dignity expired at his grace's decease, in
1360, without male issue, but was re-conferred, in 1362, upon John of Gaunt, who had
espoused the duke's second daughter, and eventually sole heiress, the Lady Blanch Planta-

+ This mode of address is as ancient as Henry IV., by whom it was first adopted. That prince, being
either by his wife, nis mobher, or his sisters, actually related or allied to every earl in the kingdom, artfully
and constantly acknowledged that connexion in all his letters and other public acts ; from whence the
iisage has descended to his .successors, though the reason has long ago failed — Blaclstone.

genet. In the reign of Elizabeth, anno 1572, the whole order became utterly extinct ;
but it was revived about fifty years afterwards by her successor, in the person of George
Villiers, Duke of Buckingham.
A Duke is styled " His Grace," and the " Most Noble," and he is officially addressed by
the Crown as " Our right trusty and right entirely-beloved Cousin and Councillor."
His graoeis likewise entitled, upon some occasions, "Most High, Potent and Noble Prince."
Coronet — On a circle gold, chased as jewelled, eight golden strawberry leaves : cap of crimson velvet,

SPIRITUAL LORDS.
^rrijljt^Ijopg.
Akchbishops have the ducal title of " Grace," and take precedence of all dukes next to
those of royal blood. The Archbishop of Canterbury ranks as first lord, and the Arch-
bishop of York as third, coming immediately after the lord-chancellor. His grace of Can-
terbury styles himself, " by Divine providence," while the Archbishop of York and the
Bishops adopt the term " permission" instead of " providence."
By an act of parliament passed in the thirty-first year of Henry VIIL, it was settled
that bishops take precedence of all barons, and immediately after viscounts ; the Bishops of
London, Durham, and Winchester, preceding their Right Reverend brethren.
Bishops are styled " Lords," and " Right Reverend Fathers in God."
Note. — In the time of the Saxons, the bishops, abbots, and other ecclesiastical persons, held their lands
free from all secular services, except the trinoda necessitas, — namely, expeditio, pontium et arcuum extructio,
et refeclio. But soon after the establishment of the Normans, they were charged with the same obligations
of military service as laymen. In consequence of this change, the bishops became tenants in capite pjer
baroniam, and were, of course, bound to attend the curia regis, which at that time was considered as a
burthensome office. It is therefore probable that the bishops did not willingly acquiesce in this alteration,
and when the immunities of the church were so much restrained by the Constitutions of Clai-eudon, in
10th Henry II., it was expressly declared, that the archbishops and bishops should hold their lands as
baronies, and attend the king's court.
The bishops were always exemj^t from doing homage for their baronies, but were bound to take the oath
of fealty.
The great abbots were also bound to attend parliament, if summoned, when they held their land per
baroniam. — Cruise On Dignities.
See now, as to Bishops sitting in Parliament, the 10 and 11 Vic. cap. 108, a statute passed 23 July,
1847.
PRIVILEGES OF THE PEERAGE.
Peers and Peeresses are free from all arrest in civil actions, and in such cannot be
outlawed, nor can any attachment lie against their person.
Peers are exempt from serving on juries, from attending courts-leet, or sheriff's turns ;
or, in case of riot, the posse-comitatus.
They are to be tried, in cases of treason and felony, by their Peers,
A Peer gives his judgment not on oath but on honour; but when examined as a
witness, he must be sworn.
Peers are tried in courts arranged specifically for the purpose, usually in the centre of
Westminster Hall, at the expense of the crown, which courts are removed as soon as the
investigation terminates.
"The honour of peers," says Sir William Blackstone (1. Comm. 402), "is so highly
tendered by the law, that it is much more penal to spread false reports of them, and
certain other great officers of the realm, than of other men ; scandal against them being
called by the peculiar name of scandahim iiiaqnafiuu, and suliject to peculiar punishments
by divers ancient statutes." This proceeding, however, by writ of scandalum magnntum,
which is of a civil as well as of a criminal nature, is now almost obsolete, the ordinary
modes of obtaining legal redress being generally preferred. Indeed, in a criminal prose-
cution for scandalum maguatiim the defendant would, no doubt, now be allowed the
privileges and be subject only to the punishments enacted by the modem Libel Act, the
6 & 7 Vict. cap. 96. It has been held that words are actionable in the case of a peer which
are not so in that of a common person : as to say of a peer : " He is an imworthy man, and
acts against \bs\v and reason." Lord Townshend v. Dr. Hughes, 2 Modern Reports, 150.
Peers have the privilege of sitting covered in courts of justice during their proceedings,
and have also the privilege of voting in parliament by proxy.
xiv INTRODUCTION.
The Barons of Kingsale enjoy, exclusively, the hereditary privilege of being covered in
the royal presence.
Peers have the privilege in parliament of wearing parliamentary robes of scarlet cloth,
differenced from each other by bars of ermine, Dukes having four, Marquesses four on the
right side and three on the left. Earls three, and S^iscounts and Barons two rows of plain
white fur only. By the curialifas regui, the eldest son in each degree of created dignity
is as of the degree next to his father ; and such eldest sons of Peers as enjoy a plurality of
titles, take and use the secondary one by courtesy.
All Peers cany supporters to their arms, as incidental to their hereditary dignity, and
otherwise adorn them exteriorly with their respective coronets and mantles. Selden states
that a coronet is first mentioned in the investiture of Earls in the time of Edward VI. ;
but that they were much more ancient appears from the will of Richard, Earl of Amndel,
dated 5 December, 1375, in which he bequeathes his three coronets to his son and his 'two
eldest daughters, a circumstance which proves that coronets were carried as ensigns of
high nobility in the fourteenth centuiy, but not according to any rule or restriction as to
their descent.
JSfote. Some peers of Ireland, created since the Union, have taken their titles from places in England ;
but hy a sort of fiction, the name of an English county is never introduced into the patent. Lord
Rendlesham is of RencUesham, without any county. Lord Maedonald is of &late, in the county of Antrim,
whereas Slate is in the Hebrides. Lord Newborough is of Ireland.
THE BARONETAGE.
The hereditary dignity of Baronet was erected by patent in England by King James I.
in 1611, and extended to Ireland in 1619. The order was first conferred in Scotland by
King Charles I. in 1625.*
PRIVILEGES OF THE BARONETAGE.
By the constitution of the baronetage, it is declared and provided, that Baronets and
their heirs male, their wives, sons, daughters, and sons' wives, respectively, or any of them,
at whatsoever time to come, in all questions concerning any place, jjrecedency, privilege, or
other matter concerning them, shall be regulated by the use and practice of custom and
law, as other hereditaiy degrees of dignity are ordained and directed, concerning j^lace,
prerogative, and })recedency.
The wives of Baronets are Ladies, and enjoy the title of Baron etess, with place and
precedency, both during the Kves, and after the decease of theii" husbands, according to the
manner and usage of other hereditary degrees.
Tiie daughters of Baronets have the rank and precedence of their eldest brother.
The Baronets of the several creations have assigned to them by the grant of the royal
founder, as a perjjetual military post of honour, place in the royal armies of the sovereign,
near and about the royal stanclard for its defence.
The Baronets of England and Ireland bear, as an honourable augmentation, on a canton
in their armorial ensigns, the royal arms of Ulster, viz., arg., a sinister baud, erect, gu.,
these senior bi-anches of the baronetage having been erected to promote the plantation
of that province.
The Baronets of Scotland are also pi-ivileged to charge their coat armour with a similar
augmentation, — viz., the arms of Nova Scotia, — having been founded to promote the
plantation of that ])rovince. By a royal warrant of Charles I. in 1629, they are also
allowed to wear as a personal decoration, an orange riband and badge, — viz., in a scutclieon,
arg., a Saint Andrew's cross, az., thereon an inescutcheon of the royal arms of Scotland,
with an imperial crown above the scutcheon, and encircled with the motto, " Fax mentis
lioncstce. gloria" being the motto of Henry, Prince of "Wales, the eldest son of the royal
founder of the order.
* The only instance of this dignity havmg been conferred upon a female occurs in that of Dame Mary
Bolles, of Osberton, Notts, who, in 1635, was elevated to the Baronetcy of Scotland, with remainder to
her heirs whatsoever.
Note. — Since the Legislative Unions between England and Scotland, and Great Britain and Ireland, the
separate Orders of Baronets have been superseded by one general institution of Baronets of the United
Kingdom, who also bear on their coat armour the augmentation of the sinister hand, gn.

ROYAL LINE OF .^COTJ.AND.
KINGS OF SCOTLAND.
The remote HL-^tory of Scotland, like that of other countries boasting antiquity, is enveloped m darkness.
Whatever light may be thrown upon its early transactions, from the absence of anythmg like famihar or
interesting detail, affords but Httle information to the general reader, and is only of value to the microscope
eye of the laborious antiquaiy. We shall therefore commence our sketch of its royal hue with the accession
of Kenneth II., from whose reign Scottish Histoiy first assumes an mtelligible form.
KENNETH THE SECOND, sumamed Mac Alpine, having united the Scots and Picts under one
sceptre, became First King of all Scotland. He d. m 858, and was s. by hia brother,
DONALD, who was succeeded, after an mglorioua reign of four year.s, by his nop-hew,
CONST ANTINE THE SECOND, (son of Kenneth Mac Alpine.) In this monarch's reign the panes
invaded Scotland, and the King, giving the barbarians battle, feU into their hands, and was beheaded in
878, leaving no issue. He was s. by his brother,
ETHUS, surnamed Tlie Sivift-footed. The rule of this Prince was brief and turbulent. A party, headed
by Grig, or Gregory, rendeiing an appeal to the sword indispensable, Ethus was wounded m battle, and
djTug soon afterwards, the crown was usurped by his rival,
GREGORY, sumamed T/ie Great. This monarch, who was contemporary with Alfred, King of England,
upon ascending the throne, selected for his colleague, Eocha, Kmg of Strathclyde, grandson of Kenneth
Mac Alpine, but both were compelled to abdicate within three years, wUen
DONALD THE FOURTH assumed the raini of government ; and after a prosperous .Tile of eleven
years, was s. by the son of Ethus,
CONSTANTINE THE THIRD, who reijned forty years, and then retiring to a monastery, resigned
the sceptre to the son of Donald IV.,
MALCOLM THE FIRST, who was succeeded by
KENNETH THE THIRD, who was killed in 994, when the throne was usurped by
CONSTANTINE THE FOURTH (great-grandson of Ethus the Suoift-footed,) who died the folloTnag:
year, and was succeeded by his son,
xxviii THE ROYAL LINE OF SCOTLAND.
KENNETH THE FOURTH, whose right being contested by Malcolm, son of Ke>-xeth III., he was
deposed in 1003, and his competitor ascended the throne, as
MALCOLM THE SECOND. This monarch had two daughters,
Beathix, m. to GwMUs, governor of the Scots Island, and left a son,
Duncan, successor to his grandfather.
DovADA, m. Sigurd, Earl of Orkney, and was great-grandmother of Ilaco, Earl of Orkney, whose dau. and heiress,
Margaret, Countess of Orkney, m. Madoch, Earl of Atholl, and from this marriage the Scandinavian Earls of
Orkney, and their representatives, the St. Clairs, derived descent. Of the House of St. Clair, the heir of Una is
John Anstruthee Thomson, Esq. of Charleton.
The King was murdered in 1033, and was succeeded by his gi-andson,
DUNCAN THE FIRST, who had three sons, Malcolm, Donald Bane, and Melmare, Earl of Atholl,
whose son, Madoch, Earl of Athtill, m. Margaret, Countess of Orkney. This unfortunate Prince was slain
in 1039, by his cousin, who ascended the throne, as
MACBETH. This Prince m. the Lady Gbuach, graud-dau. of Kenneth IY., the celebrated Lady

THE ROYAL FAMILY
HOUSE OF GUELPH.
The founder of the illustrious family of GUELPH,
ANULPHUS, HUNULPHUS, or GUELPH, younger brother of ODOACER, conqueror and first
bai'barian King of Italy, obtained possession in Bavaria, where he died in 489, leaving an only son,
OLFIGANDUS, who did not assume the supreme authority in Bavaria, but entered as a volunteer into
the Roman army, under the celebrated Belisarius, with whom he became a favourite, aud eventually
obtained a command. The period of this gallant soldier's death is unascertained, but he left an only son,
ULIGAGLTS, who served under BeUsarius in that general's last campaigns in Persia, and was subse-
quently engaged in the defence of Italy against the Lombards. He died in 590, and his son or grandson,
CADUINUS, residing chiefly in France, enjoyed the confidence of Queen Bkunhilda, a princess then.
in the zenith of power ; and having, at the head of the Austrasian army, subdued a great part of the
kingdom of Burgundy, these provinces were erected into a duchy, and the victorious general made Duke
thereof in 613. In the latter years of Caduinus he was commissioned by Clothaire the Second, under
the title of Ambassador of the King (Missus Regius), then acknowledged sovereign of Austrasia, Burgundy,
and Neustria, to collect and digest the laws of the Bavarian and German nations dependent upon France,
a duty which he fulfilled with so much zeal and success as, in a great measure, to establish the dominion
of that power throughout the neighbouring provinces. Caduinus died in 640, and his son,
CATHICUS, obtained the government of Alsace, and was Mayor of the Palace* in the kingdoms of
Neustria and Austrasia, in the reign of Childeric, son of Clovis, and afterwards in that of Dagobert II,
along with whom he was murdered in the forest of Vaivres, anno 670. From this period the Dukes of
Bavaria, allying with the Lombards, began to acquire large possessions in Italy, where a branch of the
Guelphic family had already been established as Dukes of Este, in the Lombard kingdom. From Duke
Cathicus we pass to
GUELPH, son of Ruthard, Count of Altdorf, from whom (who died about 823) descended
GUELPH, sometimes called Wolfard, Count of Altdorf, and Duke of Nether Bavaria, who married
Imagi, daughter of Frederick, Count of Luxemburg, and had issue,
GuELPH, Duke of Carinthia.
Cunegimda, m. to Azo the Second, Marquess of Este, and had a son, Gcelph, who inherited the estates of Altdorf at the
decease of his uncle.
Guelph, alias Wolfard, was succeeded in 1036 by his son,
GUELPH, Duke of Carinthia, who was svicceeded by his nephew,
GUELPH, Count of Altdorf, and Duke of Upper and Lower Bavaria. This prince engaged in the first
crusade, anno 1096, and died in returning from the Holy Land, at Paphos, in Cyprus, in 1101, leaving by
his wife, Judith, daughter of Baldwin V, Count of Flanders, and sister of Maud, wife of William the
Conqueror, four sons, and was succeeded by the eldest,
GUELPH, who died issueless in 1119, and was succeeded by his brother,
HENRY THE THIRD, surnamed Niger. This prince married Wolfida, daughter and heiress of
Magnus, the last Duke of Saxony of the line of Billung, and in her right assumed the title of Duke of
Saxony ; though the Emperor Henry V, seized upon the Duchy and confen-ed it upon another family.
The Duke obtained, however, the Duchy of Spoleto and the Margraviate of Tuscia, with the principality
of Sardinia. He died in 1127, and was succeeded by his eldest son,
HENRY THE FOURTH, surnamed Superbus, who married Gertrude, daughter and heiress of the
Emperor Lothaire, by Richensa, daughter and eventually heiress of Henry the Fat, Duke of Saxony, by
whom he obtained a restoration of the Duchy of Saxony. This prince subsequently acquired the Duchy of
* The youth and imbecility of the royal race [of France] had allowed the mayors of the palace to rise from being mere
servants of the court to the important rank of commanding in the kingdom. They were appointed to the office by the grandees
of the state, and not by the sovereign; and after the death of Dagobert (a.d. C44), they assumed the command of the armies, and
the management of the finances, so that nothing was left to the descendant, Meroveus, but the empty title of King. — Halliday's

Tuscia, and all the dominions of his aunt-iu-iaw, Mathildis, \\ife of GoELPHO VI. He died by poison in
] ioS or 1139, and was succeeded by his son,
HENRY THE FIFTH, sumamed The Lion, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria, who added to his possessions
the counties of Mecklenburg and Luneburg, by conquest from the Sclaves. But neglecting his duty to the
Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, and joining the Pope, he was publicly proscribed in IISO, and despoUed
of his Saxon and Bavarian dominions by the neighboui-ing pi'inces, who combined against him. Henry
Btdl retained, however, Bruu.s-.vick and Luneburg, but was obliged by oath to absent himself from
(iermany for three years, when he repaired with his second consort, Maud, to the coui-t of her father King
Henry II. of England; and through that monarch's intercession, obtained permission to return home in
1185, but was again driven intj England in 1189 ; he returned, however, in the same year, and died on the
6th August, 1195, leaving issue by his second wife, the English princess, three sons and a daughtei-, viz.,

The eldest sou,

partitioned his father's dominions between his brothers ; and after his decease, liis nephew
OTHO (sumamed Puer), son of William of Winchester, who was first created Duke of Brunswiek-
Limcburg, laid claim to Brunswick as heir male ; but his claim being disputed, he established it by his
sword in 12ii3, and styling himself Duke of Brunswick, gave and confirmed in that principality many
privileges. The prince married Matilda, daughter of Albert II., Elector of Brandenburg, and from him
descended
WILLIAil (son of Ernest Pius, of Zelle), founder of the new house of Luneburg, who v\-a3 born
4th July, 1535, and succeeded to the government in 1559. This prince married Dorothy, daughter of
Christian III., King of Denmark, by whom he had seven sons and eight daughters. The sons having
agi-eed amongst themselves not to divide the dukedom, determined that one only should marry, and
decided bj^ lot the individual, at the same time they agreed to reign primogeniturely ; and those engage-
ments they adhered to inviolably, to the admu-ation of all Europe. The matrimonial prize fell to
GEORGE, the sixth brother, a great military commander, who married in 1617, Anne-Eleanor, daughter
of Lewis V., Laudgi-ave of Hesse-Darmstadt, by whom he had (with four daughters) four sons, viz.,

PRECEDENCE.
The precedence given in the following scales is that which is known as general or social precedence
and which is admitted on all occasions and in all society. The Clergy, the Bar, the Military, and all
other classes, have amongst themselves a certain precedency and relative rank ; but such precedency and
rank are peculiar to each of these classes, and give them no position on the general or social scale. To be
upon that, the party must enjoy a dignity, or (in case of men) an official appointment coming within some
of the authorities here cited of statute, patent, or usage ; on these rests the following

(b) The baronets of England, the baronets of Scotland, the baronets of Great Bi-itain, and the baronets of Ireland, take rank
among themselves according to the dates of their respective patents. The Act of Union of Great Britain and Ireland, which
fixes the precedence of the different orders of the Peerage, is silent as to the English, Scotch, or Irish baronets, and, consequently,
whatever precedence their original patents conferred, is not affected by that or any other enactment which makes no mention of
them. For instance, Sir Charles Coote; inherits a baronetcy of Ireland, conferred in 1C20, and has, by right, the precedence of
TABLE OF GENERAL OR SOCIAL PRECEDENCE OF LADIES.
Married ladies and widows are entitled to the same rank amongst each other as their husbands would
respectively have borne between themselves, provided such rank arises from a dignity, and not^ from an
office or profession. Unmarried ladies have the same rank (provided it arises from a dignity) as their
eldest brother would bear amongst men. It, however, should be clearly understood that by rank through
dignity alone, and not by profession or office, is precedence conferred upon a lady.

To these are usually added the Wives of Esquires and Gen-
tlemen ; but the status of an E.-squire or Gentleman is not
a dignity, and therefore the Wife of either has, strictly
speaking, no peculiar place on the General Scale of Prc-
cedenoe.
Ihat date. There is no law or statute to deprive him of it, or to make him give place, fof example, to Sir Richard Neave, whose
grandfather was created a baronet of Great Britain in 1795. It has, however, been contended that, as the Act of Union fixed the
precedence of the peers of the three kingdoms, the precedence of the baronets might be assumed by analogy ; but tliis cannot be
so, for It would surely be contrary to all legal principle to admit the power of " analogy" to extend the force of an Act of Parlia-
ment, or to destroy a right derived by patent from the crown.
((■) The Serjeants at Law (with the exception of Masters in Chancery, now nearly obsolete, and Masters in Lunacy accorded
precedence by statute) are the only members of the legal profession below the Judges who have a position on the general or social
scale, and this arises, first from the status of a Serjeant at Law or of the Coif being not an (jffice, but a dignity and degree ;
and secondly, from the place given to that status as a dignity by the above cited statute of Edward VI. The Seijeants are in
that Act placed close to Knights, and they have, according to such Act and to ancient custom, always claimed to be of knightly
order, as is shown by their having from the remotest period borne the open vizored helmet over their coat ai-mour, and from knightly
precedence having been^a^coKled to them on various public ceremonies and solemnities, such as the funeral of James I. ; the
^^^^ funeral of Lord Nelson. It
irmation of their knightly posi-
^ .. --„ vlio are not Knights, being their
ancients.
{d\ EsQTJtRES.— Armiger, or Esquire, is not, like those names given in the Statute 1 Edward VI., c. 7, s. 3, a name of
dignity, but is (as is also, according to Sir Edward Coke, Gentleman or Yeoman) a name of worship, and cannot be attached
to any of the dignitie.=i mentioned in the Statute of Edward VI.— The different classes to whom the title of Esquire belongs
are : —
■^' j-'^^!i^°f'f °f ^K ^^® ^®®^^ ^'^'^ ^°^^^ "^ parliament during the lives of their fathers ; the younger sons of peers after
the death of their fathers ; the eldest sons of the younger sons of peers and their eldest sons in perpetual succession.
2. Noblemen of other nations. j o t
3. The eldest (and we think, if any, all the) sons of baronets, and the eldest sons of knights.
4. tsquires created expressly with a collar of SS., and spurs of silver— now obsolete.
5. Persons 1 1 whom the Queen gives arms by her own letters patent, with the title of Esquire.
6. Esquires of the Bath, and the eldest sons of those Esquires, pursuant to the statutes of the Order.
7. Bamsters-at-law, by their office or prrifession.
8. Justices of the peace, and mayors, while in the commission, or in office.
9. Persons chosen Esquires to the body of the Prince— now obsolete.
10. Persons attending on the Sovereign's coronation in some notable employment, or persons employed in any
superior ottice of trust (where they have discretionary power, and are not, such as clerks, merely ministerial) under
the Grown or serving in some place of better note in the Queen's household.
11. Persons who are styled Esquires by the Queen in their patents, commissions, or appointments, such as sheriffs uf
counties, or captains in the army and navv.
12. Attorneys in colonies, where the departments of counsel and attorney are united.
Valvasors.— The first name of dignity, next beneath a peer, was anciently that of Vidames, Vicedomini, or Valvascr
who are mentioned by our ancient lawyers as viri mognre dianitatis, and Sir Edward Coke speaks highly of them. Yet they
are at present entirely out of use; and our legal antiquaries are not atn-eed upon even their original or ancient othce.
Mow theretoi-e. the first personal dignity after the nobihty is a knight of the order of St. George, or of the Garter, first
m^ituted by Edward III , anno 1344.— Blackstone

called first, and the rest go forth in like Order: but when the Whole House is called over for any
purpose within the House, or for the purpose of proceeding forth to Westminster Hall, or upon any

Note. — The foregoing Ust comprehends all the peerages extant, excepting minor titles that merge in superior ones
of the same kingdom. It must be undeKtood, however, that in many instances two or more dignities centre in one
individual : thus — the Duke of Richmond is placed in his precedency as an English duke, and also as a Scottish one,
as Duke of Lennox. The Duke of Leinster is amongst the dukes in his Irish dukedom, and amongst the viscounts in
his English viseountcy, <fec. &c. Some lords, too, enjoy distinct peerages of the same grade, inherited from different
ancestors : and m such cases both titles are given, each in its own order of precedence.

Hincagr,
This family is said to be descended from Sir William de
Hameldon, one of the younger sons of Robert de BeUo-
mont, 3rd Earl of Leicester, which Sir William de Hamel-
don's son. Sir Gilbert Hamilton, having expressed him
self at the court of Edward II. in admiration of King
Robert Bruce, received a blow from John de Spencer,
which led the following day to a rencounter, wherein Spen-
cer fell ; and Hamilton sought security in Scotland, about
the year 1323. Being closely pursued, however, in his flight,
he and his servant changed clothes with two woodcutters,
and taking their saws, were in the act of cutting through
an oak tree when his pursuers passed by. Perceiving his
servant notice them. Sir Gilbert hastily cried out to him,
"Through!" which word, with the oak, and saw through
it, he took for his crest, in commemoration of his deliver-
ance. This is the account which has been transmitted
through tradition. But it is difBcult to reconcile with chro-
nological dates the descent of Sir Gilbert de Hamilton from
the 3rd Earl of Leicester, through his younger son, WilUam.
Moreover, on the death of the 4th earl, the great pos-
sessions of the House of Bellomont devolved on hi.s
sisters; and Simon de Montfort, the husband of the eldest,
had in her right the title of Earl of Leicester. This could
hardly have occurred, if these ladies had had a brother
who left male issue to inherit his rights. It is more pro-
bable that the ancestor of the family of Hamilton was one
of the younger sons of Robert, 2nd Earl of Leicester, who was
the son of Robert do Bellomont, 1st Earl of Leicester in
England, and Count of Mellent in Normandy, by the dau. of
Hugh, Count of Vermandois, son of Henrt I., King of
France.
Without attempting to trace the exact line of descent of
the illustrious Scottish house of Hamilton from the great
and powerful stock of the ancient De Bellomonts, Earls of
Leicester, there seems to be no doubt that they derived
their origin from that magnificent Norman race, through
the lords of the manor of Hamilton, in the co. of Leicester,
who flourished there previous to the extinction of the De
Bellomonts, and who are considered to have been a branch
of their family. They carried the same arms with those
of the Earls of Leicester, with the diflferenco of three
cinquefoils instead of one, as a mark of cadency. The
ancient lords of the manor of Hamilton and the HamUtons
of Scotland bearing for their arms three cinquefoils, ermine,
on a field, gules ; whereas the De Bellomonts, Earls of
Leicester, and their ancestors, the Counts of Melleut,
bore ONE cinquefoil, ermine, on a field, gules.
Sir Gilbert de Hamilton was the immediate ancestor
of this great family. He lived in the reign of Alexander
II., King of Scotland, and he is said to have m. Isabella

James, 2nd Earl of Arran, d. 22 Jan. 1.57.5, and was .". by
his eldest son,
James, 3rd earl. This nobleman, upon the arrival of
Queen Mary, in 1561, openly aspired to her hand, but op-
posing the Queen's free exercise of her religion, and entering
a protestation against it, his lordship entirely forfeited her
favovir. His love, however, inflamed by disappointment,
and his impatience exasperated by neglect, gradually preyed
upon his reason, and after many extravagances, broke out
at last in ungovernable frenzy. He was, in consequence,
declared to be in a state of insanity by the cognition of an
inquest passed on a brief directed out of the Court of Chan-
cery, and the estates of his deceased father devolved upon
his brother,
Lord John Hamilton, who, with his younger brother,
Claud, was banished from Scotland in 1579 ; but returned
in 1585, the act of forfeiture which had been passed being
ammlled ; and was elevated to the peerage, 17 April, 1599,
as Ma rque.<s of Hamilton. This nobleman remained fast in
his allegiance to the mihappy Queen Mary ; and so con-
scious was the unfortunate princess of his fidelity, that one
of her latest acts was to transmit to him a ring (which is
still treasured in the family) through the medium of an at-
tendant. His lordship m. Margaret, only dau. of John, Sth
Lord Glamis, and dying 12 April, 1601, was s. by his only son,
James, 2nd marquess, K.G. ; who, upon the demise of
his uncle James (already mentioned as insane). Earl of
Arran, in 1609, inherited that nobleman's honours. His
lord.ship obtained an English peerage, 16 June, 1619, by the
titles of Ba7-on of Innerdale, in Ctimherland, and Earl of
Cambridge, and was installed a knight of the Garter, at
Windsor, 7 July, 1623. He m. Lady Anne Cunningham, dau.
of James, 7th Earl of Glenoairn, by whom he had issue,
James, his successor.
William, successor to his brother.
ATine, in. to Hugh, 7th Earl of Eglintoun.

James, 3rd marquess, K.G. ; who was created, on
12 April, 1643, Duke of Hamilton, Marquess of Clydes-
dale, Sari of Arran and Cambridge, Lord Avon and
Inerdale, to him and the heirs male of his body ; and
in default thereof, to his brother, William, Earl of Lanark,
and his male issue ; and in default of such issvie, to the
eldest daughter of the said James, Duke of Hamilton and
her male issue ; and in default of such issue, to the heirs
whatsoever of the said James's body. His grace, espousing
warmly and actively the cause of his royal master Chables I.,
was defeated and taken prisoner at the battle of Preston,
and suffered decapitation in Old Palace Yard, 9 March, 1649.
He rii. Mary, dau. of William, 1st Earl of Denbigh, by whom
he had tour sons, all of whom d. in infancj^ and two daus.,
Anne, of whom presently ; and Susanna, who m. John,
Earl of Cassilis. His grace was «. by his brother,
William, 4th marquess and 2nd duke ; who had himself
been elevated to the peerage, 31 March, 1639, as Zord
Mackanshire and Polmont, and Earl of Lanark. His grace
in. in 1638, Lady Elizalieth Maxwell, dau. and co-heir of
James, Earl of Dirlcton, by whom he had a son, who d. in
infancy, and five daus., viz.,
Anne, m. to Robert, 3rd Earl of Southesk.
Elizabeth, HI. 1st, to James, Lord Kilmaurs; and 2ndly, to
Sir David Cunningham, of Robertland.
Mary, m. 1st, to Alexander, 2nd Earl of Calender; 2ndly, to
Sir James Livingstone ; and 3rdly, to James, 3rd Earl of
Findlater.
Margaret, m. to William Blair, of Blair.
The duke received a mortal wound in the service of
Charles II., at the battle of Worcester; and by Crom-
well's act of gi-ace, passed in 1654, he was excepted from
all benefit thereof, and his estates forfeited, reserving out
of them £400 a-year for his duchess for life, and after her
death, £100 a-year each to his foiu- daus., and their heirs
for ever. His grace's own honours fell under the attainder,
and his English dignities expired, while the Dukedom of
Hamilton, in virtue of the patent of 1643, devolved upon
(the eldest dau. of James, the 1st duke) his niece. Lady
Anne Hamilton, as Duchess of Hamilton, who w.
Lord William Douglas, eldest son of William, 1st Mar-
quess of Douglas, by his 2nd wife, Lady Mary Gordon, 3rd
dau. of George, 1st Marquess of Hiuitly. Her Grace ob-
tained by petition, for her husliaiid, in 1660, the title of
Duke of Hamilton, for life. His gi-ace had been previously
elevated to the peerage as Earl of Selkirk : from this mar-
riage of Anne, Duchess of Hamilton, with Lord William
Douglas, descends the pi-csent L-uke of Hamilton. [S(e
that title.)
At the death of William, 2nd Duke of Hamilton, the
male representation of the great house of Hamilton de-
volved on his grace's kinsman and next male heir,
James Hamilton, 2nd Earl of Abercorn. This noble-
man had been previously adv.anced to the peerage of
Ireland, 8 May, 1617, by the title of Lord Hamilton. Baron
of Strabane, which honour, upon his lordship's petition to
Charles I., was transferred to his next brother, the
Hon. Claud Hamilton. He m. Catharine, dau. and heiress

from France, was sworn of the privy council upon uis
ai-rival in Dublin. His lordship ou the discomfiture of
his royal master at the Boyne, having embarked for
Fi-ance, lost his life in the voyage. In 1691, he had been
outlawed, and forfeited the estates and title of Strabane ;
tut the earldom of Abercorn devolved upon his brother,
Charles, Sth earl, who, the late lord's attainder havirg
been reversed, succeeded likewise to the restored title
and estate of Strabane; but loft no issue at his decease

the military service and confidence of Jajies II., but
espousing the cause of William, took a distinguished
part at the siege of Londonderry against his royal master.
Succeeding to the Earldom of Abercorn, his lordship, in

the government of the Isle of Wight, and raised to the rank
of lieut.-gen. He subsequently, during the rebellion of
1798, had for a short time the chief command of the forces
in Ireland ; and after that he held the chief military com-
mand in Scotland, and was governor of Fort Augustus
and Fort George. He was .soon again sent abroad to
conduct the second expedition against the French in Hol-
land in August, 1799, before the arrival of the Duke of
York ; and though this expedition was as unfortunate as
the former one, it did not the less afford many opportuni-
ties to' General Abercromby of displaying his activity,
intrepidity, and high military talent. Early in 1801 he
was given the command of the English forces despatched
to drive the remains of the PYench army out of Egypt.
Abercromby, in spite of the utmost exertions of the French
to prevent his coming on shore, landed his troops on
the 8th of March at Aboukir, though not without severe
loss. Almost immediately after, the enemy made a general
attack upon the invading forces as they lay encamped
near Alexandria, but were speedily repulsed ; and then in
a few days, viz., on the 21st March, 1801, was fought, on
the same ground, the obstinate and sanguinary engagement
known as The Battle of Alexandiua, in which the
French were completely di-iven back at all points. Sii'
Ralph was unhorsed and severely wounded at the beginning
of the action by a French soldier : he nevertheless dis-
armed his opponent, and remounting his horse he con-
cealed his situation from those about him till after the
action was over, when he fainted through weakness and
loss of blood. He was at once conveyed to the ship of the
admiral. Lord Keith, and there lingered till the 2S March,
when he expu-ed. His body was interred in the burial
ground of the commandery of the grand master, tmder the
walls of the Castle of St. Elmo, near the town of La
Valetta in Malta. In his despatch after the battle. Lord
Hutchinson (afterwards Earl of Donoughmoru), the second
in command, wrote thus of his gallant leader : " Were it
permitted for a soldier to regret any one who has fallen in
the service of his country, I might be excused for lament-
ing him more than any other person ; but it is some con-
solation to those who tenderly loved him, that as his life
was honourable, so was his death glorio''s. His memory
will be recorded iu the annals of his country — will bO
sacred to every Brittsh soldier, and embalmed iu the recol-
lection of a grateful posterity." A monument was erected
in St. Paul's Cathedi-al to Abercrcmby's jiicmory by order
of the House of Commons. Sir Ralph married
Mary-Anne, dau. of John Menzios, Esq. of Feniton, co.
Perth, who, on an official account of the triumph and fate
of her lamented husband reaching England, was elevated
to the peerage, 28 May, ISOl, as Baroness Abercromby,©/
A^joukir and TuUihody, with remainder to the heii'B male of

The surname Abercromby, like others of great antiquity,
was assumed from a territory in the county of Fife, as is
proved by a charter from King Milculm III., and the pos-
sessor of that property was esteemed the chief of the family,
until the I7th century, when the chiefship, by the extinction
of that line of Abercromby, devolved upon Abercromby o/
Birkciibog, the head of which house,
Sir James Abercromby, of Pitmedden, Ley, and Birkeu-
bog (the lineal descendant of Humphrodus de Abercromby,
son of Abercromby of that ilk, who obtained a charter of the
lands of Harthill and Arduu from Robert L), was killed
at Flodden, leaving (by Margaret his wife, dau. of Sir
James Ogilvie, of Deskfurd) a son and successor,

garet Gordon, there is a royal charter, dated 1533. George
was s. by bis son,
Alexander Abercromby, who vi. Elizabeth, dau. of
Leslie of Pitcaple, Aberdeenshire; and we find, in 1550, a
charter of v irinus lauds to him and his spouse. He was

of the Seottii'h Nation, and who also wrote the Memoirs of the
Fan) ill/ of Abercromby. Alexander was s. by his eldest son,
James Abercromby, of Birkenbog, father of
Alexander Abercromby, of Birkenbog, who was gi-aud

and two daus., vi. to Leslie of Kincrag, and to George
Nicholson, of Kenmay, ancestor of the Nicholsons of
Glenbervie and Carnock. The eldest son,
I. Alexander Abercromby, of Birkenbog, was created a
Baronet of Neva Scotia in 1636. Sir Alexander took BO
active a pai't agains'; King Charles, that an historian of
the period characterizes him as " a main covenanter." In
May, 1645, he joined Major Urry, and was at the battle of
Auldearn ; but Montrose retaliated, by quartering himself
and some of his troops at Birkenbog. Sir Alexander m.

ABERDEEN.
Aberdeen, Eaul op (Sir George Hamilton-
Gordon), Viscount Formartine ; Lord Haddo,
Methlic, Tarvis, and Kellie, in the peerage of Scot-
land ; Viscount Gordon, of Aberdeen, co. Aberdeen,
in the peerage of the United Kingdom, and a Baronet
of Nova Scotia; b. 10 Dec. 1841 ; s. his father as
6th earl, 22 March, 1861.
The Gordons, Earls of Aberdeen, and the Gordons, Dukes
of Gordon and Marquesses of Huntly, derive from a common
progenitor — the earls preserving throughout male descent,
the dukes springing from the heir-female of the senior line,
Elizabeth Gordon.
Patrick Gordon, of Methlic and Haddo, grandson of
Patrick Gordon, of Methlic, slain at the battle of Arbroath,
obtained chartei-s undei the great seal, from James III., in
1481, from James IV. in 1505, and from James V. in 1514.
Mr. Gordon lived to a great age, and dying in 1631, was «.
by his grandson,
James Gordon, of Methlic and Haddo, whose property
grants from James V. considerably enlarged. In the be-
ginning of Mary's troubles, this gentleman was one of those
who signed the association, in 1567, for the defence of the
young Prince James ; but upon ascertaining that the queen
had been imposed upon, he joined the Earl of Huntly her
majesty's lieutenant in the north, adhered faithfuUy and
firmly to her interests ever after, and obtained royal charters
of several other lands and baronies. He )«. Marjory, dau.
of Sir Thomas Menzies, of Pitfodils, comptroller of Scotland ;
and dying in 1582, was s. by his grandson,
James Gordon, of Methlic and Haddo (only son of Patrick
Gordon, by Agues, dau. of Alexander Frazer, of Muchil).
This gentleman m. Jean, dau. of William, Lord Keith, and
was«. in 1624, by (theonly sonof John Gordon, by Margaret,
dau. of Sir Alexander Banuerman, of Elsick)hisgrandson,
Sir John Gordon, of Haddo, who was second in command
to the Marquess of Huntly, over the forces raised against
the Covenanters in 1630, and created a Baronet of Nova
7
SooTiA, by Charles I., in 1642, for his distinguished con-
duct at the battle of Turreff. In the following year Sir
John defended the house of Kellie against the Covenanters,
but, being obliged to capitulate, ho was sent to Edinburgh,
and imprisoned in a church there, which afterwards bore
the name of Haddo' s Hole. He was subsequently tried, con-
demned, and executed at the cross of Edinburgh, in 1644.
His estates were forfeited, and they remained under seques-
tration until the restoration of Charles II., when they
were inherited by his eldest son.
Sir John Gordon, of Haddo, who in. Mary, only dau. of
Alexander, 1st Lord Forbes, of Pitsligo, by whom he had
an only child, Jean, m. to Sir James Gordon, of Lesmoir,
Baronet. He d. in 1665, and was s. by his brother.
Sir George Gordon, of Haddo, an eminent lawyer, one
of the senators of the college of justice, in 1680, president of
the session in 1681, and Lord High Chancellor of Scotland
in the following year, when he was elevated to the peerage
of that kingdom (30 Nov. 1682) by the titles of Lord Haddo,
Methlic, Tarves, and Kellie, Viscount Formartine, and Earl
OF Aberdeen. The Chancellorship his lordship resigned in

Carrick, had a grant of the couuti-y of Carrick from Neil,
Earl of Carrick, and was declared chief of his name. This
grant was confirmed by Alexander III. The 6th in lineal

surer of Scotland, and assisted, as a deputed Scottish peer,
in 1558, at the marriage of the ill-fated Mary Stuart with
Francis, dauphin of France. The ceremony was celebrated
with great pomp, but when the crown-matrimonial was
demanded, the Scotch deputies, in a respectful but firm
manner, discovered a fixed resolution of consenting to no-
thing that tended to introduce any alteration in the order
of succession to the crown. This opposition to the views of
the French court gave great offence, and occasioned a report
that poison was administered to the deputies, of whom
Lord Fleming d. at Paris, and the Earls of Cassilis and
Rothes, and Bishop Reid, president of the Court of Session,

the island, respecting the expedition to Guadaloupe, he
received in his place the unanimous thanks of the Asjcmbly;

■William Paget, one of the serjeauts-at-mace of the city
of Loudon, left, with other children,
William Paoet. who, after receiving the rudiments of
education under the famous Lilly, in St. Paul's School, and
passing through the University of Cambridge, entered the
family of Stejiheu Gardiner, Bishop of Winchester, and was
thence introduced into political life. In the 21st of Henry
VIII., Paget went into France to obtain the opinions of
the learned in that kingdom, touching his royal master's
divorce from Queen Katheeine ; andthcncefoi-ward, during
the remainder of Henry's reign, we find him actively and
confidentially employed, often as a diplomatist upon secret
and important missions, and at one time he filled the uflice
of secretary of state. He received the honour of knight-
hood, and had a legacy of £300 from the king, who consti-
tuted him one of his executors, and of the council to Ed-
ward VI. Sir William Paget subsequently formed a close
alliance with the Protector Sou^rset, and thus retained the
opportunity of devoting his gre&t abilities to the sciwices of
the state. On 14 Feb. 1546-7, he was elected a Knight of
the Garter ; and he was summoned to p.arUament as Baron
Paget, of Beaudesert, co. Stafford, 23 Jan. 1552. In the
government of the Protector he took a prominent part, and
participated in the downfall of his patron. He was com-
mitted to the Tower, fined £6000 by the Star Chamber, and
divested of the insignia of the Garter. His disgrace was not,
however, of long endurance ; within a short time he obtained
his liberty, with a general pardon for all offences, and a re-
mission of the debt due to the crown. On the death of
Edward, he espoused the cause of Mart and after her
accession to the throne was sworn of the privy comicil. He
had also a restoration of the Garter, and obtained several
important grants from her majesty. He was afterwards
appointed lord privy seal. When ELiZABETiisucceeded, in
1558, he retired from public life at his own request ; and
Camden informs us, that her majesty "retained an affection
and value for him, though he was a strict zealot of the
Romish Church." His lordship m. Anne, dau. and heir of

This great family have ranked among the barons of Scot-
land during upwards of seven centuries. In the ye.ar 1100
William de Candela was Lord of Anstruther. As, at that
early period, it was customary for nobles to adopt their
surnames from their lands, it was rare to find a Scottish
baron who possessed a family name besides his territorial
designation. One of the few who had this distinction was
■\Villiam, Lord of An.struther. He had already a noble name,
and in 1100 he was one of the most considerable of the
barons in Fife. Thus, the nobility of this family is ascer-
tained during the last eight centuries.
William de Candela, Lord of Anstruther, lived through
the reign of King David I., and did not die until the com-
mencement of that of Malcolm IV., who ascended thff
Scottish throne in 1153. Wilham's son,
William de Candela, Lord of Anstruther, was a pious
benefactor to the Abbey of Balmerino, and 0.. in the reig-n of
King William the Lion, which commenced in 1165. His son,
Henry, in compliance with the usage of Scotland, assumed
the name of his lands as his surname, and disused that of
30
De Candela. He is styled Henricus de Anstruther Dominus
de An.struther in a charter wherein he confirms his father's
pious donations to the Abbey of Balmermo ia 1221, in the
reign of King Alexander II. He was a benefactor to the
monastery of Dryburgh. His son,
Henry de Anstruther, Lord of Anstruther, was also a
pious benefactor to the relig-ious houses of Balmerino and
Dryburgh in charters granted during the reign of King
Alexander II. He was a ciusader. and accompanied St.
Louis to the East. He assumed for his anns the thi-ee nails
of the cross, now represented by three sable piles on a silver
shield. In his old age he was compelled to swear fealty for
his Barony of Anstruther to Edward I. of England in 1 292
and 1296. His son,
William de Anstruther, Lord of Anstruther, lived in
the reigii of King Robert I. He confirmed the donations
of his ancestors to the abbey of Dryburgh. He was father of
Henry de Anstruther, of Anstruther, who was father of
Richard de Anstruther, of Austiaither, who Uved to a
great age, and d. in the reign of King James I. of Scotland.
He was father of
Robert de Anstruther, of Anstruther, who d. in the
reign of King James III. He m. Elizabeth Balfour, a dau.
of the ancient Fifeshire house of Balfour, since raised to the
peerage by the title of Lord Bm-leigh. By her he had issue,
I. Andrew, his successor ; ii. Robert, an officer in the Scots
guard of Louis XII., King of France ; iii. David, an officer
in the Scots guard of Louis XII., King of France. He m. a
French lady of rank, and was ancestor of a long line of
Barons d'Anstrude, Seigiieurs de Bariy. He was s. by his
eldest son,
Andrew Anstruther, of Anstruther. He got a charter
of his Barony of Anstruther in 1483. He fell with King
James IV. at Flodden in 1513. He m. Christina, dau. of Sir
James Sandilands, of Calder, descended from Sir James
Sandilands, and Piincess Joanna of Scotland, dau. of King
Robert II., and ancestor of Lord Toi-phichen. He was 5.
by his son,
John Anstruther, of Anstruther. He had charters dated
1527 and 1542. He m. Margaret Douglas, dau. of Thomas
Douglas, of Lochleven, descended from Sir William Douglas,
of Lochleven, by Lady Marjory Lindsay, granddau. of Kmg
Robert II., and ancestor to the Earls of Jlorton. He had a
son, Andrew Ans iruther, who was killed during his father's
lifetime at the battle of Pmkio in 1542, and who, by his .wife,
ilargaret, dau. of Thomas Abcrcrombie, of Abercrombie,
ancestor to the Baronet of Birkenbog, and the Lords Aber-
crombie and Dunfermline, had a son,
John Anstruther, of Anstruther, who .i. his grandfather

but dying without issue he was succeeded by his nephew,
eldest son of his brother Sir Robert,
Sir Robert Anstruther, gentleman of the bedchamber
to King James I, privy comicillor to King Charles I. In
1620 he was ambassador extraordinary to the King of Den-
mark, with whom he was in especial favour as a boon com-
panion no less than as a diplomatist. In a protracted revel,
the Dani.sh King was so mvich delighted with his convivial
powers that he actually resigned the Danish crown to him,
with which Sir Robert was invested during the remaining
days of the feast. In 1 627 he was ambassador to the Em-
peror of Germany. He was also sent by King Charles I.
and the Elector Palatini as their plenipotentiary to the
Germanic Diet at Ratisbonne, and in 1630 he was ambas-

in the 3rd Guards, and was appointed deputy quarter-
master-general. In 17'JS, he went upon a diplomatic mis-
sion to Germany, whence he returned in the spring of
the ensuing year, and in the autumn embarked with the
expedition to the Holder. In 1800, Captain Anstru-
ther went to Egypt, as quartermaster-general to the

manded the rear-guard of the army, which he brought

Et'iicaflr.
Eight centuries ago, Gillespick Campbell acquired, by
marriage with an heiiess, the lordship of Lochow, in
Argyllshire, and from him descended
Sir Colin Campbell, of Lochow, who, distinguished
as well by the great acquisitions he had made to his
estate, as his achievements in war, obtained the surname
of More, or Great ; and from him the chief of the house is
in the Gaelic styled, to this diy, Mac Callum More. He
was knighted by Alexander III., 1280, and was one of the
nominees, 1291, on the part of Robert Bruce, in the con-
test for the crown of Scotland. This renowned and gallant
chieftain was slain in a conflict with his powerful neighbour,
the Lord of Lorn, at a place called the String of Cowal,
where a great obelisk is erected over his grave. The event
occasioned continued feuds for a series of yeais between the
houses of Lochow and Lorn, which terminated at last by
the marriage of the first Earl of Argyll with the heiress of
Lorn. Sir Colin iji. a lady of the name of St. Clair, and had,
NiEL, his successor.
Donald, progenitor of the Campbells of Loudoun.
Dugald (Sir), who swore fealty to Edward I. in 1299, but
afterwards joined Robert Bruce.
Arthur, who, having sworn fidelity with his brother to
KiKG Edward, like him, afterwards joined Robert
Bruce, from whom he obtained two charters of the
constabulary of Duustaflfuage, with the mains thereof.
Duncan, likewise a supporter of the Bruce.
Sir Colin was s. by his eldest sou,
Sir Niel Campbell, who was knighted by Alex. III.
towards the close of that monarch's reign. He swore fealty,
with his brothers, in 1296, to King Edward, but afterwards
joining Robert Bruce, adhered to him in prosperity and
adversity, and fought by his side in almost every field, from
the battle of Methven to that of Bannockburn. The king
had so high a sense of Campbell's services that he gave him
his sister, Lady Mary Bruce, in marriage, and granted to
him and his said wife, and John their son, all the lands
which belonged to David do Strathbogie, Earl of Atholl.
When the triumph of Bannockburn had decided the inde-
pendence of Scotland, Sir Niel Campbell was one of the
great barons in the parliament which met at Ayr, 26 April,
1315, and fixed the succession to the crown. By the Lady
Mary Bruce he had three sons, viz.,
Colin.
John (Sir), of Moulin, who, upon the forfeiture of David
de Strathbogie. 11th Earl of Atholl, was advanced to
that earldom. He fell at the battle of Hahdon Hill,
1333; and dying without issue, the Earldom of Athol,
reverted to the crown.
Duncan of Meustrie.
Sir Niel d. in 1316, and was s. by his eldest son.
Sir Colin Campbell, of Lochow, who accompanied the
king into Ireland, in 1316, to assist in placing his brother,
Edward Brvice, upon the throne of that kingdom. Sir
Colin, in 1334, assisted the Steward of Scotland in the reco-
very of the Castle op Ddnoon from the English, which
gave the first turn of fortune in favour of King David
Bruce, and he was in consequence appointed heritable
governor of that fortress. He m. a lady of the house of
Lennox, and had three sons and a dau., viz., Archibald ;
John, whence derive the Campbells cf Barbeck, Succoth,
and others (see Burke's Landed Gentry): Dugald; and
Allicia, m. to Allan Lauder, of Hatton. He d. in 1340, and
was s. by his eldest son,
Sir Archibald, or Gillespick Campbell, of Lochow,
who was s. by his son,
Sir Colin Campbell, of Lochow, who m. Margaret, 2nd
dau. of SirJohnDrummond, of Stobhall, .and.siBtcr of Anna-

Sir Colin was s. at his decease by his eldest son,
Sir. Duncan Campbell, of Lochow, who assumed the
designation of Argyll, and was .raised to the dignity of
a lord of parliament by James II., in 1445, by the title of
Lord CanipMl, having, iu the previous reigu, been of the
privy council, and been appointed the king's justiciary, and
lord-lieuteuaut of the co, Argyll. His lordship //!. 1st, Lady

Lord Campbell m. 2ndh', M.argaret, dau. of Sir John
Stewart, of Blackball, natural son of Robert III., and had
three more sons, viz., Duncan of Auchinbreck, ancestor of
the Campbells of Glencardell, Glensaddell <fee. ; Niel, ances-
tor of the Campbells of Elleugreig and of Armadale ; and
Arthur (or Arcliibald), ancestor of Campbell of Otter, now
extinct. Lord Campbell was one of the hostages for
the redemption of James I., in 1424, and his annual reve-
nue at that time was stated to be fifteen hundred marks, a
larger income than that of any other of the hostages. He
d. at the close of the year 1453, and was s. by his grandson,
Colin, 2nd Lord Campbell, who was created Earlof Argyll,
1457. His lordship was appointed master of the king's
household iu 1464 ; and after filling several most important
pubhc situations, as ambassador to the courts of England
and France, justiciary, &c., he was eventually made Lord
High Chancellor of Scotland. He m. Isabel Stewart,
eldest dau. and co-heiress of John, Loi'd of Lorn, and in
consequence, added the galley to his achievement, with the
designation of Lord Lorn to his other titles. Of this mar-
ri.age there were, with several daus., two sons, viz.,
Archibald, his successor.
Thomas, ancestor of the Campbells of Lundy.
The earl d. 10 May, 1493, and was s. by his elder son,

Sept. 1513, leaving, with a numerous family besides (by
Elizabeth, his wife, dau. of John, Earl of Lennox),
Colin, his successor.
John (Sir), of Calder, ancestor of the Earl of Cawdor.
He was s. by his son,

His lordship d. in 1558, and was s. by his eldest son,
Archibald, 5th earl, who, at the breaking out of the civil
wars in Scotland, espoused the cause of Queen Mary, and
commanded her Majesty's forces at the battle of Langside,
in 15GS. After the assassination of the Regent Moray, the
Earl of Argyll, and other noblemen of the queen's party,
assembled at Liuhthgow, 10 April, 1570, and his lordship
was then constituted, with the Duke of Chatelherault and
the Earl of Iluutly, her Majesty's lieutenant iu Scotland.
When the Regent Lennox fell iu 1571, by assassination
too, he was candidate for the regency ; but not succeeding,

Sir Colin Campbell, of Boquhan, as 6th carl, who was
sworn of the privy council iu 1577, and appointed lord high
chancellor of Scotland iu two years afterwards : by his 2iid
wife, Agnes, dau. of William Keith, earl marischal, aud
widow of James, Earl of .Moray (the Regent), he had,
Archibald, his successor.
Colin, of Lundie, created a B.aronet.
His Lordship d. in 15S4, and was s. by his elder son,
Archibald, 7th carl, a military officer of high reputation, '
who, after distinguishing himself in arms at home, entered
the service of Philip III. of Spain, aud obtained renown in
the wars of that monarch against the States of Holland,
His lordship m. 1st, Lady Anne Douglas, dau. of William,
Earl of Morton, by whom he had, with four daus.,
Archibald, his successor.
Hem. 2ndly, Anne, dau. of Sir AVilli.am Coruwallis, of Brome,
and had, with a dau., another son,
James, created E.arl of Irvine iu 1042, who d. s. p., when
the dignity expired.
The eai'l d. in 1638, and was succeeded by his elder sou,
Archibald, 8th e.irl, who was advanced to the Marquessafe
of Argyll, by letters patent, dated 15 Nov. 1641. This noble-
man resigned into the hands of Charles I. the justiciarj--
ship of all Scotland, which had been iu his family for several
ages, reserving only to himself and his heirs the jurisdiction
of the Western Isles, and of Argyll, and wherever else he
had lands iu Scotland, which arrangements were ratified
by act of parhameut iu 1633. His lordship who was so
deeply engaged in the Scottish aflairs of his time, and gene-
rally so mysteriously, that to treat of his career would
produce rather a series of conjectures than of facts, acted a
prominent part during the civil war, was the first commis-
sioner from Scotland to the parliament of England, and
commander-in-chief of the Covenanters, when defeated by
Montrose at Inverlochie and Kilsyth ; but after the king's
murder, when Scotland, as with oue voice, demanded the
acknowledgment of Charles II., Argyll asserted his ma-
jesty's cause, and at the king's coronation at Scone, 1 Jan.
1650-1, had the honour of placing the crown upon his ma-
jesty's head. Subsequently, however, he assisted in the
ceremony of proclaiming Cromwell, Protector, and signed
au engagement to support the usurper's government. On
the restoration of the monarchy, the mai'quess immediately
repaired to London, for the purpose of congratulating the
king ; but his majesty, refusing to see him, ordered his
committal to the Tower, where he remained until December
following, when he was sent back to Scotland by sea, and
narrowly escaped shipwreck. He was soon afterwards tried
for high treason, and condemned to death, 25 May, 1661.
In two days subsequently, he wrote a long letter to the
king, vindicating his memory, and imi^loring protectiou
for his poor wife and family ; dined at noon with his friends
withgreat cheerfulness ; and was accompanied by several of
the nobility to the scaffold ; where, after au interval of
devotion, his head was stiTiok off by the maiden at the

A T H
This family, one of the most eminent in Scotland, was at
one time invested with the absolute sovereignty of the Isle
of Man. " Freskine," says Sir Robert Douglas, "a gentle-
man of Flemish origin, came into Scotland during the reign
of David I., and obtained from that munificent sovereign
the lands of Strathbrock, co. Linlithgow. Soon after the
insurrection of the Moraymen, in 1130, Freskine, who pro-
bably contributed by his skill and bravery to the subdue-
ment of these ancient people, acquired from the same prince
some of the most fertile districts in the lowlands of Moray,
and built a fortalice at Dufius, where he resided, the massy
ruins whereof are still remarkable." The descendant of
this distinguished person,
Walter, inheriting his paternal lauds at Moary, was
distinguished by the surname of De Moravia, or Moray.
From this Walter de Moravia, descended the Morays, Lords
Bothwell, the Morays of Abercaimy, and
Sir William de Moravia, who acquired the lands of
TulUbardine with his wife, Adda, dan. of Malise, Seneschal
of Strathem, as appears by charters dated in the years 1282
and 1281. He was «. by his son,
Andrew Murray, of TulUbardine. When Edward Baliol
invaded Scotland, in 1332, this Andrew Murray, favouring
his pretensions, contributed greatly to the decisive victory
obtained by Baliol at Duplin, by fixing a stake in a ford in
the river Earn, through which his armj- passed and attacked
the Scots. This rendered Murray so obnoxious that, when
he was made prisoner in a couple of months after, he
was immediately put to death for his adhesion to Baliol.
He left a son.
Sir William Murray, of TulUbardine, from whom line-
ally descended (the 5th in succession)
Sir William Murray, of TulUbardine, living in 1482 and
1511, who had, with other issue,
TVlLLiAM, his successor.
Andrew (Sir), ancestor of the Viscounts Stormont.
Sir William was s. by his eldest surviving son,
William Murray, of TulUbardine, whose grandson.
Sir William Murray, of TulUbardine, m. in 1547, Lady
Agnes Graham, dau. of William, 2nd Earl of Montrose, and
was *. by his eldest son,
Sib John Murray, 12th feudal Baron of TulUbardine,
master of the household and one of the privy council of
James VI., who was created Lord Murray of TulUbardine,
25 April, 1(504, and 10 July, 1606, Earl of TulUbardine,
His lordihip m. Catharine, dau. of David, Lord Drummond,
and had, with other issue,
William, his successor.
Patrick, of Castletown, afterwards Earl of TulUbardine.
Mungo, who became 2nd Viscount Stormont, but d.
issueless.
The earl d. in 1609, and was s. by his eldest son,
William, 2nd earl, who, with his cousin, David, Viscount
Stormont, when a very young man, had the good fortune
to be instrumental in the rescue of the king, at Perth,
from the attempt of the Earl Gowrie and his brother, in
1600. For this signal service he obtained the hereditary
sherifiship of Perthshire, which has since continued in the
family. His lordship m. 1st, in 1602, Cecilia, eldest dau. of
Sir John Wemyss, of Wemyss, but had no issue ; he m.
2udly, Lady Dorothea Stewart, eldest dau. of John, 5th
Earl of Athole (at whose decease, without male issue, the
earldom of Athole reverted to the crown), by whom he had
issue, John, who became Earl of Athole ; and Mary, to. to
Su" John Moucrieffe, of Moncriefie, Bart. The earl, a short
time before his decease, having petitioned Charles I.,
.-setting forth that his countess was the eldest dau. and heir
of line of John, Earl of Athole, and that the family of Stew-
art of lunermoath, which had obtained the title at that
nobleman's decease, had become extinct, the king gra-
ciously promised to revive the dignity in her posterity;
when his lordship, wishing to prevent the junction of the
earldoms of Athole and TulUbardine, and for the purpose of
forming two noble families, resigned the latter digiuty to
the crown in favour of his brother, Patrick Murray, which
disposition was confirmed by patent under the great seal,
anno 1629. The earldom of TulUbardine came back, how-
ever, to the Athole line, upon the demise of Earl Patrick's son,
James, 4th carl, who outlived his male issue. William, 2nd
Earl of TulUbardine, d.in 1626, and was s. by his son,
John Murray, who, on 6 Aug. 162S, was served heir to
John, Earl of Athole, which service was confirmed by patent,
17 Feb. 1628-29, and he thus became 1st Earl of Athole of
the house of Murray. His lordship m. Jane, dau. of Sir
49
A T H
Duncan Campbell, of Qlenurchy, and dying in 1642, was
s. by his son,
John, 2nd Earl of Athole, S.T., to whom reverted the
earldom of TulUbardine, in 1670, upon the demise of his
cousin James, mentioned above. His lordship was created
Marquess of Athole, 17 Feb. 1676 ; he m. Lady AmeUa-Sophia
Stanley, only dau. of James, 7th Earl of Derby, by his wife
Charlotte de la Tremouille,* the famous Countess of Derby
(.-.■te pod, Derby E). The Marquess of Athole by this mar-
riage had, with other children,
John, his successor.
Charles, created Earl of Dunmore. (See that dignify. )
William, who s. as second Lord Naime,t and having engaged
in the rising of 1715, and being convicted of high treason,
was condemned to death ; but his life was subsequently
spared, altliougli his title was attainted. He m. Margaret,
dau. of Robert, 1st Lord Nairnc, by Margaret, dau. of
Patrick Graham, of Inchbraco, and d. in 1725, leaving with
other issue,
John, his heir.
Eobert, rn. Jean, heir of the aacient family of Mercer,
of Aldie, in Perthshire. Tliis gentleman, engaging in
the insurrection of 1745, fell at the battle of Culloden,
15 April, 1746, leaving (with another son, .James, who d.

The settlement of the Aylmers in Ireland is fixed at some
time in the 12th century. In the 10th of Henry VI., a.d. 1421,
we find Richard Aylmer, Esq. of Lyons, co. Kildare,* one
of the keepers of the peace for that co., as well as for the
adjoining co. of Dublin ; and in eleven years afterwards
(143-') he is a subscriber, as sovereign of the town of Tassa-
gard, to an indenture made to one John Staunton, and his
heirs of a waste plot of ground there, for the yearly consi-
deration of one penny at Easter. In the reign of Henry
VIII., a member of the family. Sir Gerald Aylmer, Knt. of
Dullardstown, co. Meath, 2ud son of Baitholomew Aylmer,
Esq. of Lyons, by his vrife, Margai-et Chivers, rose to consi-
derable eminence in the legal profession, and was consti-
tuted, in 1532, one of the justices of the court of Common
Pleas in Ireland ; from which he was removed to the pre-
sidency of the court of Exchequer; and, in 1535, he re-
turned, as chief justice, to the former court.
The baronetcy of Ireland was conferred 25 Jan. 1621, in
little more than a year after the institution of the order, by
James I., upon
I. Sir Gerald Aylmer, Knt. of Donadea, son of George
Aylmer, Esq. of Cloncurrie, and grandson of Richard
Aylmer, Esq. of Lyons. Sir Gerald in. 1st, Mary, dau. and

Various conjectures have been hazai-ded as to the origin of
the sumame of Bacon, but to little purpose. It matters
not, however ; the antiquity of the family is beyond dispute ;
and there are few houses in the kingdom moi-e distinguished
by the production of great aud eminent men. Besides Friar
Bacon, the marvel of his day. Sir Nicholas Bacon, and the
great Lord Bacon, there were five other extraordinary
personages of the same family.
Sir Nicholas Bacon, Knt., b. at Chiselhurst, in Kent, in
1510, becoming eminent at the bar, succeeded Nich. Heath,
Archbishop of York, at the accession of Elizabeth, in the
custody of the great seal, and was sworn of her majesty's
privy council. The chief business of the first session of
Elizabeth's reign was the settlement of religion, and the
management of that important affair was committed almost
wholly to the lord keeper, who pursued therein his wise
maxim, " Let us stay a little, that we may have done the
sooner." Asa statesman, he was remarkablefor a clear head
and profound understanding. Ilis great skill lay in balancing
parties, and it is thought that the queen was indebted to
him for that great secret of governing. Towards the latter
end of his life he became so remarkable for corpulency, that
his royal mistress used familiarly to observe, " that the lord
keeper's soul lodged well." To himself his great size was
very cumbersome, insomuch, that after walking from West-
minster Hall to the Star Chamber, which was but a very
little way, he was usuallj' so greatly out of breath, that the
lawyers foi-bore speaking at the bar until he recovered him-
self, and gave them notice by knocking with his staff. Sir
Nicholas m. 1st, Jane, dau. of William Fernley, Esq. of
West Creting, co. Suffolk, by whom he had issue,
I. Nicholas (Sir), his successor.
II. Nathaniel (Sir), of Stiffkey, co. Norfolk, K.B., who
became eminent as a painter, and some of his works are
preserved at Culford, where he lived. He m. 1st. Anne,
natural dau. of Sir Thomas Gresham, Knt., thecelebrated
founder of the Royal Exchange; and 2ndly, Dorothy,
dau. of Sir George Hopton, Knt. By the former he left
three daus. at his decease, his co-heirs, viz.,
1 Anne, m. to Sir Roger Townshend, of Rainham, co.
Norfolk, ancestor of the Lords Townshend, to whom
she brought the Stiffkey estate.
2 Elizabeth, m. to Sir Thomas Knyvet, of Ashwelthorp,
CO. Norfolk.
3 Winifred, Hi. toSirRobt. Qawdy, ofCIaxton,co. Norfolk.
III. Edward, who m. Helen, dau. and heiress of Thomas
Littel, Esq. ofShrubland Hall, co. Suffolk, and acquiring
that estate, was designated therefrom. He was ancestor
of theBaconsof Shrublaud Hall, of Ipswich, and Earlham.
I. Anne, m. to Sir Henry Wodehouse, of Waxham, co.
Norfolk.
II. Jane, m.lst, to Sir Francis Windham, one of thejustices
of the Common Pleas; 2ndly, to Sir Robert Mansfield.

Francis, 6. at York House, Strand, 22 January,
15(50 ; educated at the University of Cambridge,
Where he made astonishing progress in all taught
there ; and when only fifteen, wrote against the
Aristotelian philosophy. He went to the bar, and was
appointed king's counsel, and soon after the accession
of James I. honoured with knighthood. In 1C13, he was
constituted attorney-general, and sworn of the privy
council. In 1(517, Sir Francis was made Lord Keeper
OF THE Great Seal, and the next year he was entitlec'
Lord High Chancellor of England. Within a few
months afterwards "he was elevated to the peerage,
11 July, 1618, in the dignity of Baron Ferulam; and he
was created, 27 Jan. 1(527, Viscount St. Albans. His
lordship was subsequently convicted, upon his own con-
fession, of corruption, in the exei'cise of his judicial
functions, and sentenced to pay a fine of £40,000, to he
imprisoned during the king's pleasui-e, and to be ever
afterwards incapacitated from holding ofli(,'e under the
crown. Having, in pursuance of this judgment, suffered a
brief incai'ceration, and the finebciugeveutuallyremitted,
he withdrew into retirement, and devoted the remainder
of his life to the continuation of those " Essays" and
other splendid literary works, which have handed down
his universal genius to posterity. He m. Alice, dau. and

Norfolk and Suffolk, from the crown. He was knighted by
Elizabeth, in 1578, and was the first person advanced to
the dignity of Baronet, 22 May, 1(311, upon the institution
of that order. Sir Nicholas had, by his wife, Anne, dau.

The ancestors of this family are recorded in Domesday
Book, as holders of Bagot's Bromley, co. Stafford, under
Robert de Stafford, fu under of the old feudal house of
Stafford, which terminated some time in the reign of
Richard I. in au heir female. Milicent de STAFroRD, who
conveyed the feudal barony to her husband, Henry de
Bagot (a younger branch of the family of which we aie
about to treat). Their son, Hervey, assumed the f.urname
of Stiffoi-d, and was progenitor of the succeeding Barons
and Earls of Stafford, and Dukes of Bncldngham. {See
Burke's Extinct Peerage.) Of this Hervey the following
account is given in Memorials of the Bagot Family, compiled
in 1823, by the present Lord Bagot : —
" It has long api>eared a matter of doubt who the Hervey
Bagot was, that, in the reign of Richard I., m. Milicent de
Stafford, sister and sole heir to Robert, the last Baron.

Stafford. Hervey Bagot is always styled a younger son of
the House of Bagot, but whether of Bagot's Bromley (the
head branch of the family), or of Hyde (another bi-anch),
has seemed doubtful to many antiquarians. Erdeswick
thinks he was of Bagot's Bromley; Air. Chetwjmd endea-
vours to prove that he was of Hj-de ; and Sir William
Dugdale only styles hiui ' a gentleman of ancient family
in those parts.' After the most attentive and repeated
examination of every document bearing upon the subject
of this Hervey Bagot's descent, it is evident, ahnost to
demonstration, that be must have been the brother of
Simon Bagot, of Bromley ; and consequently, like him, in
the third generation from the Bagot who held that manor
at the time of the Domesday survey."
The pedigree of the family, in the possession of the
family, attested by Sir William Dugdale and Gregory King,
of the College of Arms, "and supported by a most extra-
ordinary mass of original deeds and other family muni-
ments," according to the memorial ah-eady quoted, deduces
the lineal descent from Bagod, Lord of Bromley, who held
the lands from Robert de Stafford, as mentioned in Domes-
day Book, to
Sir Ralph Bagot, Knt., who, in the time of Edw. II.,
m. Elizabeth, dau. and heiress of Richard de Blithfield, of a
very ancient family seated on a manor of that name, within
two miles of his residence at Bagot's Bromley. With this
heiress. Sir Ralph became possessed of the estates at Blith-
field and Littlehay, in Colton, which had been in the lady's
family from the Conquest ; and he removed, most probably,
from his own seat to that of Blithfield, where his de? cendants
continue to reside. From this Sir Ralph the pedigree
carries on the line to
Hervey Baoot, Esq. (eldest surviving son and heir of
Walter Bagot, Esq. of Blithfield and Bagot's Bromley, co.
Stafibrd, and EUzabeth his vnfe, dau. of Roger Cave, Esq.),
b. 8 Feb. 1590, and created a Baronet 30 May, 1627, the
year after that in which he had served the office of sheriff
for the CO. Stafford. This gentleman suffered much during
the usurpation, for his attachment to the royal cause. He
m. twice, and was ?. at his decease, in Dec. 1660, by his
eldest son (by Katherine, dau. of Humphrey Adderley, Esq:
of Weddington, co. Warwick),

parliament, who in. Mary, dau. of William Lambard, Esq.,

Pleas), by whom he had twelve sons and five daus. He d.
30 May, 1673, and was s. by his 3rd and eldest surviving son.
Sir Walter, who represented the co. Stafford in seven
parliaments. He hi. Jane, dau. and sole heir of Charles

The family of Baird is of remote antiquity in North Britain.
There is a tradition relating to it which states, that William
THE Lion, while hunting in one of the south-west counties,
happening to straggle from his attendants, was alarmed by
the approach of a wild boar, and calling out for assistance, a
gentleman of the name of Baird, who had followed the king,
came up, and had the good fortune to slay the object, of the
monarch's alarm : for this signal service, William conferred
upon his deliverer large grants of land, and assigned him for
his coat of arms, a boar pissant, and for his motto, "Dominus
fecit ;" which arms are to be seen upon an ancient monument
of the Bairds of Auchmedden, in the churchyard of BanBT.
George Baird, of Auchmedden, co. Aberdeen, chief of

BANNEBMAN.
Bannerjian, Sir Alexander, of Elsick, co. Kin-
cardine, h. 6 April, 1823 ; s. his father as 9th baronet,
18 June, 1851 ; m. 25 Sept. 1860, Arabella-Diana,
* The surviving brothers and sisters of this nobleman were-
raised to the precedence of the children of a viscount, by
royal warrant, dated 2 Feb. 1836.
BAN
BAN
youngest dau. of George- John, 5th and present Earl
Delawarr.
Eiiiragr.
The surname of Banuerman was derived from the office of
hereditary royal standard-bearer; and that it was one of
the earliest assumed in Scotland is evident, because the
name remained, although the office which had given it was
lost to the family, according to Buchanan, Leslie Bishop of
Boss, and Hector Boethius, in the reign of Malcolm Caen-
more (or Cean Mohr) ; according to Fordun and Major, in
the reign of Alexander I. And Sir George Mackenzie in
his work says, " There were no surnames in Scotland before
the time of Malcolm Caenmork."
The first existing charter belonging to this family is from
David II. to Donald de BauneiTuan, conferring the estates
of Clyntrys, Achronies, Waterton, and Waltowu, dated 1366 ;
and subsequently, a charter of confirmation, dated 1368, of
certain Imds adjoining.
In 1387, Alexander Bannerman received a charter of con-
firmation in the estate of Elsick, from Robert II., dated
Scone, in the IVth of his reign.
Owing to the turbulence of succeeding times and the loss
of family papers and charters, there have not been found
any documents to trace the immediate line of the family.
In 1-152, Alexander Bannerman, of Elsiok, witnesses a
charter as one of James H.'sJiquites Scuti; he also succeeded
to the lauds of Wattertown, and the family is designated of
Elsick and Wattertowu, until 1611, when they seem to have
sold Wattertown.
In 1512 Alexander Bannerman, of Elsick and Wattertown,
was sheriff of Aberdeenshire.
In 1586, his grandson, Alexander Bannerman, m. Eliza-
beth, dau. of Johnston of that ilk, by whom he had issue,
Margaret, m. in 1608, to George Gordon, of Haddo (ancestor
of the Aberdeen family) ; and a son, Alexander B.annbrman,
who s. him. Ho rn. Ist, Margaret, dau, of Forbes, ofTol-
quhon ; and 2udly, Marjory, dau. of Sir John Leslie, of
Wardes. He was s. by his son, by the first marriage,
Alexander Bannerman, who m. 1633, Marion, dau. of
Hamilton of East Binning.
These three Alexander Bannermans, of Elsick, are always
designated as Knights. The last, in a bond of provision for
his younger children, states that Sir George Hamilton, of
TuUyallan, had become bound to convey the lands of Elsick
to him in life-rent, and to his eldest son in fee. And in 1652
the commissioners of forfeited and sequestered estates in
Scotland, gave judgment in these words : " Upon hearing a
petition from Hamilton of Binning, setting forth that his
lauds of Elsick had been wrongeously sequestered for Alex-
ander Bannerman, then a prisoner, &c. &c.. grant their
warrant to withdraw the sequestration on the said lands,
the said Alexander Bannerman being only tenant therein ;"
from which and other papers it would appear that, by a
conveyance (a plan often adopted in Scotland), the estate
was saved fr.m forfeiture. By this marriage with Marion
Hamilton there were four sons and four daus.,
Alexander, created a Baronet, 1682.
George, a lawyer, solicitor to the crown.
Mary, m. to Leslie of Findrassie.
Robert, a clergyman : he lost his living in 1689, for
refusing to take the oaths to King Williasi.
Margaret, m. to Sir Alexander Keith, of Ludquharn.
John, an officer in James II. 's guards, whom he followed
to St. Gerniains.
Elizabeth. Jane.
The eldest son,
I. Sir Alexander Bannerman, of Elsick, was created a
Baronet by Charles II., on account, as the patent says, of
his constant loyalty during the rebellion, and of the heavy
calamities he had suffered on that account. He ?re. Margaret,
2nd dau. of Patrick Scott, of Thirlstane, and left issue,
I. Alexander, 2nd baronet.
II. Patrick, a firm adherent of the Stuarts, chosen provo-it
of Aberdeen, in 1715; as such he issued proclamations
and levied taxes for the Chevalier, by wliom lie was
knighted : after the suppression of the rebellion he was
carried prisoner to Carlisle, whence he escaped to France
He m. Margaret, dau. of Sir Charles Maitland, of Pitricliie'
and d. in 1733, leaving issue two sons and three daus. : the

BARNEWALL.
Baenewall, Sir Reginald-
Aylmee-John-de-Barneval, of
Crickstown Castle, co. Meath, b.
16 Feb. 1838; s. his father, as
8th baronet, at his birth.
Einratrr.
This family, whose surname was anciently written "De
Barneval," "Bernevale," and " Bamewall," deduces its
lineage from remote antiquity, and claims, among its earliest
progenitors, personages of the most eminent renown. It
is the parent stock from which the nobJe houses of Kingsland
and Trimlestown br.anched, and the name of its patriarch is
to be found, with the other companions in arms of the Con-
queror, in the Roll ot Battle Abbey. In Ireland the Barne-
walls come under the denomination of " Strongbowians,"
having established themselves there in 1172, under the
banner of Strongbow, Earl of Pembroke.
Sir Michael de Berneval, Knt., the first settler, joined
the English expedition with three armed ships, and effected
a descent upon Beerhaven, co. Cork, previously to the land-
ing of his chief. Earl Strongbow, in Leinster. Sir Michael
is mentioned in the records at the Tower of London as one
of the leading captains in the enterprise ; and in the reigns
of Henry II. and of Richard I. he was lord, by tenure, of
Beerhaven and Bautry. From 4his gallant and successful
soldier, we pass to
Sir Ulpiiram de Bernevaie, Knt., the tenth in descent,
firstpossessorofCrickstownCastleandestate, and the founder
BAR
B A E,
of what is to this day termed, the " Crickstown branch "
of the family. The great grandson of this Sir Ulphram, ,
Ulphram de Berneval (fourth of the same christian
name), hi. a dau. of Lord Furnival, and left three sons, j
Cln-istopher (Sir), father of the first Lord Trimlestown. t
Jolm, ancestor of the Viscounts Kingsland. I
liarnaliy (Sir), an emintut lawyer, and lord-chief baron. '
The eldest son, i
Sir Christopher Barnewall (as the name began then
to be spelt) succeeded to the patrimonial estate of Cricks-
town ; and was, in 1445 and 1446, chief-justice of the court
of King's Bench, and lord high-treasurer of Ireland. He m.
Matilda, dau. of Sir — . Drake, of Drakerath, and had two
sons ; the younger, ;
Robert, was elevated to the peerage of Ireland, 4 March,
1401, as Bai'on Trimlestown ;
while the elder,
Sir Nicholas Barnewall, s. his father, and having been
brought up to the profession of the law was appointed, in
consideration of his good and faithful services to the house
of York, during the war of the Rosos, chief-justice of the
court of Common Pleas, in Ireland, for life, by patent, dated
1 Aug. 1461. He 1)1. Ismay, dau. of Sir John Serjeant, of
Castlekuock, near Dublin, and was «. by his eldest son,
Christopher Barnewall, of Cricksto^vn, who 7n. Ellen,
dau. of Peter, Lord Dunboyne ; and from him we pass to
his descendant,
I. Sir Patrick Barnewall, Knt. of Crickstown Castle
(twelfth in lineal descent from the first possessor of that
estate, and the twenty -first from his Anglo-Norman ancestor,
who had settled in Ireland, temp. Henry II.), who was
created a Baronet of Ireland, 22 Feb. 1C22. He m. Cecilia
le Fleming, dau. of William, Lord of Slane ; and had, with
-other children,
Richard, his successor.
John (Sir), a distinguished la'n'yer, and one of the barons
of the Exchequer in 16G8. Sir John, m. Thomazine, dau.
of Anthony, Viscount Taraii, and left an only dau., Mary,
7ii. to Lord Trimlestown.
Michael, ancestor of the present baronet.
Sir Patrick d. 21 June, 1624, and was s. by his eldest son,
II. Sir Richard, b. 21 Dec. 1602. This gentleman suf-
fered severely during the CromwelUan usurpation ; and Oi
the extensive possessions then wrested from him he obtained
restitution, after the re-establi.'?hmont of the monarchy, only
of his castle, and 2000 acres of land adjoining thereto. Sir
Hichard m. Anne, dau. of Lawrence Dowdall, Esq. of Ath-
lumney, co. Heath, and left (with other issue, of whom
Elinor was m. to Randall, -1st Baron of Slane), Patrick.
his successor, and John, ancestor to the 5th baronet. He
cl. soon after the Restoration, and was s. by his eldest son
III. Sir Patrick, M.P. for Meath in 1CS9 and 1690. This
gentleman inherited, in virtue of the act of limitation, the
mansion of Crickstown, and the 2000 acres of laud append-
ing thereto ; he enjoyed also a pension from the crown ot
£150 per annum. Sir Patrick m. Frances, dau of the Hon.
Richard Butler, of Kilcash, co. Tipperary, and granddau. ot
Walter, 11th Earl of Ormonde, and was ^^. by his only sou,
IV. Sir George, who d. without issue, 22 Oct. 1735,
"when his estates passed to his three sisters, as co-heiressos;
and thus the male branch of the family was deprived of the
castle and manor of Crickstown, of which it had been in
possession uninterrviptedly for fifteen generations. The
baronetcy devolved upon the next male heir,
V. Sir George (grandson of John Barnewall, 2nd son oi
Sir Richard, the 2nd baronet). This gentleman, upon the
demise of his kinsman, returned to Ireland, from Germany,
■where he had resided, and, after establishing his right,
retired again to the Continent, in 1744, where he d. .?. p.
From the period of the decease of Sir George, the baro-
netcy remained dormant, until revived, Nov. 1S21, in favour
of the late Sir Robert Barnewall, by a full recognition ot
Tiis right by the College of Arms in Ireland.

This family, formerly bearing the surname of Shute, is
of Norman origin, and while the Duchy was an appendage
of the crown of England, the ruins of Shute Castle, their
Normanic possession, were still co be seen : there were
several monuments beside, commemorative of the Shutes,
throughout the principality.
John Shute, Esq., barrister-at-law (only surviving son of
Benjamin Shute, Esq.), inherited, by will, although unallied,
and but slightly known to the testator, the estate of John
Wildmau, Esq. of Becket, co. Berks, Mr. Wildman declar-
ing that the only reason he had for making Mr. Shute
his heir was, that he considered him the most worthy of
all his acquaintance of adoption, after the manner of the
Eomans, a mode of settling property which he had always
approved. In a few years aftei-wards, Mr. Shute obtained
another property by settlement — that of Francis Ban-ington,
Esq. of Tofts, CO. Essex, who had //!. his cousin, Elizabeth,
dau. of Samuel Shute, sherift" of London, and d. without
issue. In pursuance of this settlement, Mr. Shute assumed,
by act of parliament, the surname and arms of Barring-
ton. He was returned tvv-ice to parliament for Berwick-
upon-Tweed ; but, on the last retvirn, in 1722, the Commons
t iking into consideration the Harborough lottery, came to
a resolution that the honourable member had promoted
and carried on that fraudulent undertaking, and therefore
expelled him the House, 15 Feb. 1722. He had previously
been elevated to the peerage of Ireland, 1 July, 1720, bv
the titles of Baron Burrington, fif Ntwcastle, co. Dublin, and

II. Maria-Louisa-Olivia.
The fixmilj' of Bariington came to England with the
Conqueror, in 1006. The barony and townland of "Du
Barrentin," which cradled the race, and gave the family
their name, still exists in Normandy. The old feudal burg
is now Barentin, a manufacturing town, with a station on
the Havre line, near Rouen. William the Conqueror g.ave
to Baron Odo Du Barentin a grant of lands in Essex, and
made him Ranger of the Forest of Hatfield. In the 15th
century, the name was Anglicised to Barrington, without
the "Du." The Barrington of that time held the gover-
noi-ship of the Channel Islands, and was head of the
eminent family of Barrington, of Barrington Hall, Essex,
which eventually obtained a baronetcy, 29 June, 1011,
soon after the establishment uf the order, an honour that
became extinct (S"c Burke's Extinct Baroiutage) by the de-
mise, without male issue, of Sir Fitzwilliam Barrington,
the 10th bart., who d. in 1833. A younger son, it is
said, of the house of Barrington, of ]j;uTington Hall,
Colonel BaiTington, went to Ireland With Cromwell, from
whom he received a grant of land there, and his direct
descendant was

assumed by roya) licence the surname and arms of
Turner, in addition to and after Polhill, in compliance
with the will of the Dowager Lady Page-Turner.
Sir Henry m. 2ndly, 1 Aug. 1863, Augusta-Anne,
youngest dau. of the late Gen. Lord C'harle,sSi)merset,
2nd sou of Henry, 5th Duke of Beaufort, K.G.
Sir Henry, who is a magistrate and deputy-lieut. of
the county, represented the city of Waterford from
1832 to 1841, from 1849 to 1852, re-elected 1865,
and served the office of high-sheritf in 1858.
Of the great Hibernian sept of the FitzGeralds, one
branch, a scion of the house of Desmond, were Barons of
Burnchurch, in the county of Kilkenny ; and — to distin-
guish themselves — were in the habit of adding the word
" Baron" to their patronymic. These Barons of Burn-
church, for a long period feudal lords of great influence
in their i-nmediate locality, were consequently known as
FitzGeralcl alias Baron, or Baron alias FitzGerald, as the
party himself thought proper to write it. The following
epitaph, on a member of the Burnchurch lins, com-
memorates this double appellation : — " Hie jacet Geral-
dine, aliais Barron, Dominus de Burnchurch, et Anastatia
St. Leger, uxor ejus, qui obiit primo die Februarii, 1545,
&c. ;" and many entries in the public records of Ireland
refer to the fact. In the Calendar of the Patent Rolls,
we find at p. 122, Membrane 29, a.d. 1546: — "Presenta-
tion of William Baron, otherwise FitzGerald, son and
heir of Rowr.AND FitzGerald Babon, of Burnchurch,
to the vicarage of Burnchurch, otherwise Kiltrany, in
the CO. of Kilkenny, vacant by the resignation of Richard
Melby, and in the king's gift pltus jure, Mar. 21 — 37."
And again at p. 306, Membrane 10, occurs a "conge
d'elire to the Dean and Chapter of the cathedral of
Cashel to elect Rowland Baron, otherwise FitzGerald, to
the Archbishopric of Cashel, vacant Ijy the death of Edward
Butler, Novr. 20. — 1. Date, 1553." Being royalists, they
lost their estates by confiscation, temp. Cromwell, and the
head of the family entered foreign service.
Richard Fitzgerald, alias Barron, of Burnchurch, who
was thus deprived of his lands, appointed (by his will, dated
7 July, 1045) his father-in-law, Robert Forstall, guardian to
his two children ; these having d. without issue, the repre-
sentation of the family devolved upon his nephew (son of
his brother Edward), viz. :
Captain James Fitzgerald, alias Barron, who, after
having served under the Prince de Coud^, in France, re-
turned to Ireland with Colonel Dempsey and others, and
petitioned for the restoration of the baronj- and lands of
Burnchurch (See Treasury Office, Dublin) ; but his claim,
like those of many other of the roy ilist Irish families,
was never decided on. He subsequently settled in the
CO. of Waterford, and there married Slany Ni Brien, of the
.house of Thomond, only child of Donald More O'Brien, the
* By this marriage Sir Henry-Winston Barron became
connected with the noble families of Saye and Sele, Leigh,
Hawke, St. Vincent, Buckingham and Chandos, &c , &c.

mother of Fanny Bagoe, who m. Thomas Wyse, Esq. ol

It appears, from documents in possession of this family,
that its ancient surname was Botevile: and under that name
that it enjoyed lands in the manor of Stretton,in Shropshire
for many generations, from the time of King John; in whose
reign, the brothers. Sir GenftVey and Oliver Boteville, persons
of great eminence and rank in Poitou.came over to England,
according to Matthew Paris, in order to assist the king
against his rebellious barons. The surname of Thynne, is
said to have originated with John BotevileyWho from residing
in one of the Inns of Court, was denominated, "John o'
Th'Inne," and thence "Thynne."
Sir Gkoffry Boteville, was the first that settled at
Strettou on the lands given him by the Earl of Arundel
(William d'Albiui), which have been ever since called Bote-
ville's Lye. This Sir Geofifry was, by King John, constituted
governor of Belvoir Castle, in Lincolnshire, which had been
taken from that Earl. In the said parish of Strettou did
this family reside, from the said Sir Geoffry's time, till Sir
John Thynne, the elder, settled at Longleate, in Wiltshire,
retaining still his ancient lands in Shroi:)shLre.
William Botevile, his son, departed this life a.d. 1256,
leaving a son, John, whose name is recorded, in an old roll,
among the knights of Shropshire, who attended at the siege
of Caerlaverock Castle. This Sir John Botevile had two
sons, Hugh Botevile-Chaplain, who had livery and seisin
of his father's lauds in Strettou, and paid his relief for
the same, 35 Edward III., and Thomas, of whose line we
treat This Thomas Botefeld, who had livery and seisin
of lauds in Stretton, 30 Edward III., 1356, left, by Sibilla
his wife, a son, Richard, who d. iu 1416, leaving a son,
Thomas Botevile, who had two sons, William and
John ; from the latter descend the Botevyles of Bote-
vyles and the Botfields of Leighton Dawley and Norton
Hall, CO. Northampton, represented by Beriah Botfield,
Esq., who d. 7 Aug. 1805.
Wiliiam had a sou, Richard, who was father of John
Botevile, called, from his residence in one of the Inns of
Court, John of Jh'Innc. and thence came the name of Tliynne
as now used. This John, according to Francis Thynne,
Esq., Lancaster Herald, m. Joan, dau. of — Boulder. The
issue of the said John of Th'Inne (who flourished iu the
reign of King Edward W.) were, 1 Ralph Botevile (alias
Thynne) ; 2 Roger ; and 3 Thomas.
Roger, the 2ud son, was father of two daus., viz., Eliza-
beth, the wife of Richard Heynes, or Eynes, of Stretton, in
Shropshire, and Marg.aret ; and also of a son, William, the
father of Thom.is Thymic, of DevereU, iu Wiltshire, who
m. Elizabeth, dau, of ■— Done, and was alive iu the year
1625, being then very old.
Ralph Botevile, or Thynne, the eldest sou of the said
John of Tli'Inne, m. Anne (or Joan, according to some
pedigree.s), dau. of John Higgons, of Stretton, and had,
Thomas, his successor.
William, master of the household to Henbt VIII., who
collected and published the works of Chaucer, with notes,

The Bathursts are stated to have come into England in
the time of the Saxons, from a place called Batters, iu the
duchy of Luneburg. They gained a settlement near B.ittle,
CO. Sussex, which they called Batters-hurst, which name
was eventuaUy contracted to Bathurst. In the Battle
Abbey mmiiments the name is written variously Batherst,
Bodeherste, Bothhurst, &c. Most of the earliest of the
Battle Abbey charters, Sic. in which the " Bodehersts" are
mentioned are dateless. The names occur as follow : —
Alan de Bodehm-st, living 1291, father of John de Bod-
hurst ; Martin de Bodliurst and Ingram de Bodhurst,
living ie.i'jJ. Edward I. ; Godfrey de Bodher.st and Agatha

gato, living March, 1348 ; John Bodhurst, Steward of

1433, father of L.\wremce Bathurst, who in 1461 is said to
have been attainted by Edward IV. for adherence to the
cause of the King, Henry VI., and to have had his "an-
tient castle" demolished. A portion of the property is
still known by the name of Bathurst Wood, and in the
latter part of the last century some traces of the ruins of
the castle were to be fomid. None can, however, be seen
at the present time. This Lawrence retu-ed to Craubrook,
CO. Kent, and had an only son, Lawrence B.athdrst, of
Canterbury aud Cranbrook, who was father of another

Einrasc.
This faruily deduces, illegitimately, from a branch of the
house of Plantagenet, being thus lineally descended from
John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster (son of Edward III.),
who caused aU his natur.al children (afterwards legitimatized
to all intents but that of succession to the crown) by
Catherine Swiuford, dau of Sir Paj^n Roet, alias Guyn,
king of arms, and widow of Sir Gates Swinford, Knt. (to
whom he was eventually maiTied), to be called Beaufort,
from the castle of that name, in the co. of Anjou, the place of
their nativity ; which castle came, in the year 1270, to the
house of Lancaster, by the marriage of Blanche, dau. of
Robert, the 1st Count of Artois, and widow of Hexrv I. ,
King of Kavarre, with Edmund, surnamed CVouchback,
Earl of Lancaster, second son of Henry IIL of England.
Of the three sons of John of Gaunt, born before marriage
with Catherine Swinford,
Henkt, the 2nd son, was consecrated Bishop of Lincoln
in 1.397, and was thence translated to Winchester in 1405:
he received a cardinal's hat in 142G. This was the cele-
brated CakDINAL BEAtTFOKT, LoRD CHANCELLOR of ENG-
LAND, who crowned Henry VI. in Paris as King of
France in 1431 and d. at Winchester in 1447-
Thomas, the youngest son, was created Earl of Dorset and
Duke of Exeter, but left no issue at his decease in 1427.
The eldest son.
Sir John Beaufort, was created Eurl of Somerset in
1396, and in two years afterwards, Mtrrquess of Dorset,
which dignity he subsequently resigned, and was created
Marquess of Soraerset; but when constituted lord cham-
berlain, on the accession of Henry IV., he is styled Earl
OF Somer.set onlj'. He was a K.G., a captain of Calais.
From this nobleman wc i^ass to his descendant,
Henry, Duke of Soraerset, K.G., who fell into the hands
of the Yorkists at the battle of Hexham, and was beheaded
3 April, 14(33, leaving an illegitimate son, by Joan Hill,
Charles Somerset, of whom presently. He was s. in his
honoui-s by his brother,
Edmund, Duke of Somerset, who shared a similar fate,
7 May, 1471 ; and dying issueless, as did his yomiger brother,
John, the male line of John of Gaunt terminated, as well
the descendants of Catherine Swinford, aSvOf his first wife,
Blanche, mother of Henry IV. v
Charles Somerset, mentioned above as the?4l9gitimate
son of Henry Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, being i^erson

important diplomatic missions ; and was subsequently
created a knight banneret, made a knight of the Garter,
and appointed captain of the guard.s, a.d. 1406. Sir Charles

constituted lord chamberlain for Ufe, as a reward for the
cUstinguished part ho had in the taking of Terouenne and
Tournay, and was created Earl of Worcester, 2 Feb. 1513-14.

France, in 1573, with a font of jnire gold, for the baptismal
ceremony of a da\i. of Charles IX. of that kingdom, at

as one of the sponsors. His lord.ship 'in. Christian, dau.

time of his father, to the first parliament of James I. This
nobleman took a decided part in favoui- of Charles I., and
maintained his castle of Ragland, with a garrison of 800
men, without levying any contributions upon the comitry,
from 1642 to 1646, and only siu'rendered it, eventually, to
Sir Thomas Fairfax, on most honourable conditions. This
castle was amongst the last places in England from whoso
battlements the royal banner bade defiance to treason ; but
after its capitulation, it was demolished, and the timber in
the sruTounding parks cut down and sold by the committee
of sequestration, occasioning a loss to the noble proprietor,
moderately estimated at £100,000. The earl was advanced

by Charles I. lord-lieut of North Wales, and addressed by
his majesty as Earl of Olamorgan, until he succeeded to his
heritable honours. The Marquess of Worcester left behind
him a literary woik, entitled "A centiu-y of the names and
scanthngs of such inventions as at present I can call to mind
to have tried and perfected, which (my former notes being
lost) I have, at the instance of a powerful friend, endea-
voured now, in the year 1655, to set these down in such a
way, as may sufficiently instruct me to put any of them to
practice." First printed in 1663. In this work, the power
and application of the steam-engine are distinctly described.

The surname of this very ancient family is derived from
■,he city of Beaitviont, in France, which formerly gave title
;o a succession of viscounts, whose heiress, Agnes de Beau-
aoNT, conveyed the seigneury to her husband, Louis, 2nd
ion of John, King of Jerusalem and Sicily, and nephew of
Louis IX. of France. The 4th son of this lady,
Henry de Beaxtmont, came into England, according to
general supposition, at the instance of Eleanor, wife of
Edward I. , and obtained high and confidential employment
from the crown, with extensive territorial grants. This
;3miuent person, who was brother of Isabel, wife of John,
Lord Vesci of Alnewicke, is styled in our records, " consan-
jaineus regis;" and, amongst his other offices, he was made
King of the Lsle of Man for life, by the same tenm-e that its
lords usually held it under the Kings of Scotland. He was
likewise summoned to parliament as a baron, 4 March,
1309, and sworn of the privy council. His lordship m.
Ahce, dau. and at length heir of Alexander Comln, Earl of
Buchan, in whose right he became constable of Scotland,
,and obtained the manor of Whitwicke, in Leicestershire,
where he was licensed to convert the manor-house into a
'castle. Lord Beaumont d. 1 340, (for a more ample account
of this nobleman, refer to Bdkke's Sxtinct and Dormant
Peerage,) and was s by his son,
; John de Beaumont, 2nd baron, summoned to parUament
25 Feb. 1342. His lordship m. the Lady Alianore Planta-
genet, dau. of Henry, Earl of Lancaster, and groat-grand-
dau. of Henry III., by whom he had an only child, Henry,
bom in Brabant, during her ladyship's attendance upon
Philippa, queen consort of Edward III. ; in consideration
of which circumstance, Lord Beaumont procured the king's
83
B E A
special letters-patent, declai-ing " that not'W'ithstandlng the
said Henry was begotten and born in foreign parts, never-
theless, in regard it was by reason of his and his lady's
attendance on the queen, he should be reputed a lawful
heir, and inherit the lands in England, as if he had been
born there." Lord Beaumont d. in 1342, and was s. by the
said
Henry de Beaumont, 3rd lord, who m. the Lady Mar-
garet de Vere, dau. of John, Earl of Oxford, and dying in
1368, was s. by his onlj' child,
John Beaumont, 4th lord, K.G., summoned to parUa-

Lord Beaumont d. in 1396. His 2nd sou,

tain of Galliarde, was retained by John Plantagenet, Duke
of Bedford, Regent of France, to serve in the French wars.
He m. in 1458, Philippe, dau. and heiress of Sir Thomas
Maureward, and was s. by his eldest son,
John Beaumont, Esq., who resided at Overton. This
gentleman was slain, in 1459, with his cousin, John, Vis-
count Beaumont, at the battle of Northampton, leaving
issue, by Joan, dau. of John, Lord Darcy, two sons ; the
younger of whom,
Geokqe Beaumont, Esq., m. Joan, dau, and heiress of
Sir Thomas Pauncefort, of Northall, co. Gloucester; and
dying 22 Henry VIII., was s. by his son,

m. Elizabeth, dau. and heiress of John Froxmere, and was
s. by his eldest son,
James Russell, who i/i. Ahce, dau. and heiress of John
Wyse, Esq., and dying in the 1st year of Henry VIII., left
two sons, the elder of whom,
John Russell, said to be one of the most accomphshed
gentlemen of his time, resided at Berwick, about four
miles from Bridport, co. Dorset, and obtained a favourable
introduction to court through one of those unexpected
incidents which may be attributed solely to good fortune.
In the 21st of Henry VII. (1500), the Archduke Philip of
Austria, only son of the Emperor Maximilian I., and
husband of Joanna, dau. of Ferdinand and Isabel, King
and Queen of Castile and Aragon, having encountered a
violent hurricane in his passage from Flanders to Spain,
was driven into Weymouth, where he landed, and was
hospitably received by Sir Thomas Trenchard, Knt., a
gentleman of rank in the neighbourhood. Sir Thomas
immediately apprized the coiu-t of the circumstance, and
in the interim, while waiting for instructions what com'se
to adopt, invited his first cousin,* Mr. Russell, then re-
cently retmned from his travels, to wait upoii the prince.
His imperial highness, fascinated by Mr. Russell's com-
panionable qualities, desired that he should accompany
him to Windsor, whither the king had invited his highness
to repair. On the journey we are informed that the arch-
duke became still more pleased with his attendant's
" learned di.scourse and generous deportment," and I'e-
commended him strongly to the king. Mr. Russell was,
in consequence, taken immediately into royal favoirr, and
appointed one of the gentlemen of the privy chambei-.
Becoming subsequently a favourite of Henry VITI., ard a
companion of that monarch in his French wars, Mr. Russell
was appointed to several high and confidential offices, and
finally elevated to the peerage, 9 March, 1538-9, in the
dignity of Lord Russell, Baron Russell, of Cheneys, co. Buck-
iugham. In the next year, 1540, when the great monas-
teries were dissolved, his lordship obtained a grant to
himself, and his wife and their heirs, of the site of the
Abbey of Tavistock, and of extensive possessions belonging
thereto. After the accession of Edward VI., Lord Russell
had a grant of the Monastery of Wobuxn, and was created
Earl of Bedford, 9 Jan. 1550. In Mary's time, the same
courtly sunshine continuing, his lordship obtained a new
patent, dated 3 Nov. 1553, for the office of lord privy seal,
and was appointed ambassador to Spain, to conduct her
majesty's royal consort, Philip II., into England. The ,
earl m. Anne, dau. and heiress of Guy Sapcote, Esq., and
widow of Sir John Broughton, Knt. ; and dying 15 March,
1554-5, (amongst his other honour,?, we must not omit his
being a knight of the Garter,) was s. by his only son,
Francis, 2nd earl, E.G., b. in I52S. This nobleman, in
the 1st of Elizabeth, was sworn of the privy council, and
was subsequently a person of great eminence during her
majesty's reign. His lordship m. 1st, Margaret, dau. of Sir
John St. John, and sister of Ohver, Lord St. John of
Bletshoe, and had,
I. Edward, Lord Russell, who predeceased his father, with-
out issue.
II. John, summoned to Parliament, after the decease of his
brother, as Lord Russell. His loi'dship «;. Elizabeth, dau.
of Sir Anthony Cooke, of Gidea Hall, co. Essex, and widow
of .Sir Thomas Hobby, of Besham, co. Berks, by whom he left
two daus., Elizabeth, who d. vnra.; and Anne, the wife of
Henry, Marquess of Worcester.
III. Francis (Sh), summoned to parliament as Lord Russell,
Id. Julian, dau. and co-heir of Sir John Foster, Knt., by
whom he had an only son,
Edward, who s. as 3rd Earl of Bedford.
IV. William (Sir), distinguished by his eminent senice in
Ireland, temii. Elizabeth. In 1580, Mr. Russell first c^ni
manded 150 horse there, which the clergy of England ^.ad
raised, for the reduction of the queen's rebellious subjects;
and, for his gallantry, received the honour of knighthood.
Soon after this we find him in the Low Countries, under
Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. In 1594, Sir William was
constituted lord-deputy of Ireland, and for the next two
years he was engaged against the rebel O'Maden. On the
accession of James I., he was elevated to the peerage, 21
Jul\% 1603, as Baron Russell of Thornhaugh, co. North-
auilnon. His lordship m. Elizabeth, dau. of Henry Long,
Esq. of Shengay, co. Cambridge, and left at his decease, 9

was •«. by his brother,
Edward Russell, "who," says Buniet, "had been bred
at sea, and was bedchamber-man to the king (James II.)
when Didje of York ; but upon Lord Russell's death, retired
fi'om court. He was a man of much honour and great
courage. He had good principles, and was firm to them."
Strenuously supporting the Revolution, he obtained high
naval commands from the new king, and distinguished
himself as one of tlie most eminent naval heroes of the
period, particularly by his victory over the French fleet at
La Hogue, in 1692. He was rewarded with a peerage, 7
May, 1697, as Baron Shingay, Viscount Bai-jlcur, and Earl
Of Orford. His lordship ni. Lady Margaret Russell,
youngest dau. of his father's brother, WiUiam, 1st Duke
of Bedford, but d.. in 1727, s. p., wlien the peerage became
EXTINCT.
His lordship (Francis, Earl of Bedford) d. of the smallpox,
9 May, 1641, and was s. by his eldest son,
William, 5th earl, who, at the Restoration of King
Charles II., carried St. Edward's sceptre, was elected a
Icnight of the Garter, 1672; and created, 11 May, 1694,
Marquess of Tavistock; and Duke of Bedford. His grace
m. Anne, dau. and sole heiress of Robert Carr, Earl of
Somerset, hy his too celebrated countess, Frances Howard
the divorced wife of Essex. " Francis, Earl of Bedford,"
says Pennant, " was so adverse to the alliance, that he gave
his son leave to chose a wife out of any family but that.
Opposition usually stimulates desire : the yoiuig couple's
affections were only increased. At length, the king inter-
posed, and sending the Duke of Lennox to urge the earl to
consent, the match was brought about. Somerset, now re-
duced to poverty, acted a generous p.art, selling his house
at Chiswick, plate, jewels, and furniture, to raise a fortiuie
for his daughter of £12,900, which tlie Earl of Bedford de-
manded, saying, that since her affections were settled, he
chose rather to undo himself, than make her imhappy. "
The lady proved worthy of the alliance. It is s;iid that she
was ignorant of her mother's dishonour till informed of it
by a pamphlet, which she accidentally foiuid ; and it is
idded, that her gi-ace was so struck with this detection of
her parent's guilt, that she feU down in a fit, and was foimd
senseless with the book open before her. The duke had
issue by this admii-able woman,. seven sons and three daus.,
of whom the eldest survivmg son was the celebrated
William, lord Russell. This distinguished patriot was fiist
returned to parliament for the co. Bedford, in 1678-9. His
lordship, who took an active part against the court, appeared
publicly in the King's Bench, at Westminster Hall, 10
June, 16-^0. and presented the Duke of York as a recusant:
he subsequently carried up the bill of exclusion of his roval
highness, at the head of more than 200 members of the
Commons, to the House of Lords. He was afterwards
indicted for high treason as a participator in the Rye-house
conspiracy, and was tried at the Old Bailey, 13 Juiie, 1683,
and convicted. He was executed, by" decapitation, at
Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, 21 July following. " Between his con-
demnation and death, Lord Cavendish offered to change
clothes with him in the prison, and thus enable him to
effect his escape; but Lord Russell had too much mag-
nanimity to expose his friend to so much danger. The
attainder of his lordship was annulled after the Revolu-
tion. He rn. 1069, Lady Rachael Wriothesley, 2nd dau. and
eventual heir of Thomas, Earl of Southampton, lord high

This gentleman having laid before Charles II., after the
Restoration, an estimate of the losses sustained by the

the monarch, that it was too great a sum for him to recom-
pense ; to which Mr. Bedingfeld answered that all he begged
of his majesty was, that he might hope for the futm-e to
enjoy in tranquillity the small remnant of his fortune. To
soften, however, the asperity of this unmerited refusal, the

John Hamilton, of Broomhill, iiatural brother of James,
1st Earl of jVrran, had a letter of legitimation under the
great seal of Scotland, 20 Jan. 1513 ; and dying about 1550,
was s. by his elder son,
John Hamilton, of Broomhill, whose gi-andson,
Sir John Hamilton, of Broomhill, afterwards of Beil,
was created, 15 Dec. 1047, for his loyalty to Charles I.,
Baron Belhaven and Stenton, eo. Haddington. His lord-
ship, having no male heirs, surrendered his barony to the
crown, and obfciined a new patent, 10 Feb. 1675, in favour,
after his own decease, of the husband of one of his grand-
daus., John Hamilton, and the heirs male of that gentle-
man. Lord Belhaven m. Margaret, natural dau. of James,

devolved, according to the limitation, upon the eldest son
of Sir Robert Hamilton, of Pressmenan, one of the senators
of the College of Justice (who was husband, as stated above,
of the deceased lord's granddau., Margaret),
Sib John Hamilton, of Beil, as 2nd baron. This noble-
man was a lord of the Treasury in 1704, and was a zealous
and eloquent opponent of the Union, 1706. He had two
sons, John, his successor ; and James, a member of the
faculty of advocates, and solicitor of the boards of Customs
and Excise in Scotland, d. s. p. 28 June, 1732. His lord-
ship was committed to the Tower of London, as an ally of
the Chevalier St. George, in 170S, and il. of an inflammation
of the brain, almost immediately after his release, 21 June,
in that year. He was s. by his elder son,
John, 3rd baron, one of the representative peers, who,
having been appointed governor of Barbadoes, in 1721, was
drowned in his passage to that Lsland. He »i. Anne, dau.

brother,
James, 5th baron, who also d. U7im., 25 Jan. 1777, and
the peerage remained, some years subsequently, doianant.
By virtue of an entail of the 2nd Lord Belhaven, in 1701,
confirmed by the last, in 1765, the husbands of the heirs
female being excluded from inheriting the property, and
the whole male descendants of the 2nd lord's father, Lord
Pressmenan, having entirely failed, the family estates, of
great value, devolved upon Mrs. Mary-Hamilton Xisbet, of
Pencaitland, and she was accordingly served heir to JMnes,
5th Lord Belhaven, 3 Dec. 17S3. The whole male descend-
ants of James Hamilton, of Barneleuth, from which the
2nd lord sprang, having likewise failed, the barony of Bel-
haven and Stenton devolved on Robert Hamilton, of
Wishaw, he being the male heir whatever, that is, the
nearest male heir existing in the collateral line of John,
2nd Lord Belhaven, according to the u.sual course of de-
scent estabUshed by the law of Scotland. By this coiu-se
of descent, it is settled, that in the case of three brother.s,
should the niiddle brother fail, the younger, and not the
elder, is entitled to succeed as heir male. The founder of
the family, John Hamilton, of Udson, had three sons, viz.,
John Hamilton, of Coltness.
James Hamilton, of Barneleuth, whose descendant inherited,
as 2nd Lord Belhaven.
BEL
William Hamilton, of Wishaw.''
The title of Lord BeUiaren was assumed by William
Hamilton, capt. of the 44th regt. of foot, lineal descendant
and heir male of John Hamilton, of Coltness, the elder of
the three brothers ; and he voted at the general election
in 1790, as Lord Belhaven. An objection was taken, how-
ever, to his right ; and evidence was given that there were
male descendants of the body of William Hamilton, of
Wishaw, the youngest of the three brothers ; consequently,
the character of heir male whatever of John, 2nd Lord Bel-
haven, the patentee of 1765, could not belong to the gentle-
man who had assumed the dignity. This argument was
supported by the attorney-general attending on behalf of
the crown ; and the Lords' committee of privileges unani-
mously decided, 5 Jan. 1793, that the votes given at the
election, by the assumed Lord Belhaven, were not good,
and that resolution was confirmed by the House of Peers.
Soon after the settlement of this point, William Hamilton,
of Wishaw, eldest son and heir of Robert Hamilton, pre-
sented to the king a petition, claiming the dignity and title
of Lord Belhaven and Stenton ; and this petition being, as
usual, referred to the House of Peers, the claim was deter-
mined in his favour, 25 April, 1799, and he became
William, 7th Baron of Belhaven and Stenton (his father,
Robert Hamilton, being counted the 6th lord, although he
had never assumed the dignitj'). His lordship, who was b.

BERKELEY.
Berkeley, Earl of (Berkeley), Viscount Dursley,
and Baron Berkeley, of Berkeley Castle, co. Glou-
cester, one of the co-heirs to the baronies of Mowbray,
Segrave, and Braose of Gower.
Robert Fitzhardimoe (whose father was one of the com-
panions of William the Conqueror) obtained, for his fidelity
to the Empress Maud and her son (Henry II.) the lord-
ship of Berkeley and Berkeley-Heniesse, of which Roger de
Berkeley,* o\vner of Dursley, was then divested, for taking-
part with Stephek. This Robert Fitzhardinge entertained
at Bristol, in 1108, Derniot Mac MuiTough, King of Lein-
ster, with sixty of his retinue, at the time the Irish prince
came into England to solicit succours from Henry II. He
d. in llTO-71, and was s. by his eldest surviving son,
Maurice de Berkeley, who in. AUce, dau. of Roger de
Berkeley, the former an ousted possessor of Berkeley and
Dursley, and had six sons. He d. in 1190, and was s. by the
eldest,
Robert de Berkeley, who espoused the baronial cause,
and thus incurred the displeasure of John, but was restored
to royal favour ; falling again from his allegiance, the castle
and lands of Berkeley were seized by the crown, and their
profits assigned for the maintenance of the castle of Bristol.
He was subsequently, however, put into possession of all
his lands except Berkeley Castle ; and dying 13 May, 121P,
without issue, was s. by his brother,
Thomas de Berkeley, to whom Berkeley Castle was
granted in 1223. This feudal lord m. Joan, dau. of Ralph
de Somery, Lord of Campden, co. Gloucester, and dying in
1243, was s. by his eldest son,
Maurice de Berkeley. This eminent person had mili-
tary summonses to march against the Welsh, in the 42nd,
43rd, and 44th Henry III., and the next year he had conr-
niand to attend the king in London, well appointed with
horse and arms, to take part against the barons, then in
open hostility ; but he appears to have adopted an opposite
coui'se, and to have joined the insurrectionary lords, for
which his lands were seized by the cro-wii. This Maurice
m. Isabel, dau. of Maurice de Creoim, a great baron in Lin-
colnshire, by Isabel his wife, sister to William de Valence,
Earl of Pembroke (uterine sister and brother of Henry III.),
and dying 4 April, 1281, was s. by his eldest son,
Thomas de Berkeley, who was with the king at the
siege of Kenilworth Castle, Oct. 1266, and afterwards in the
Welsh wars ; for which eminent services he had a special
gi-ant, tc»y.'. Edward I., of hberty to hmit the fox, hare,
badger, and wild eat, with his ov,ni dogs, within the king's
forests of Mcndip and chase of Kingswood ; after this we
find him engaged in Scotland, and participating in the vic-
tory of Falkirk, gained 22 July, 1298. He was subsequently
at the celebrated siege of Caerlaverock, and was summoned
to parliament as a Baron from 23 June, 1295, to 15 May,

1321. Hia lordship m. Jane, dau. of William do Ferrers,
Earl of Derby, and was s. in 1321, by his eldest son,
Maurice de Berkeley, 2nd lord, who had summons to
parliament, as Lord, Berkeley of Berkeley Castle, from 6 Aug.
1308, to 15 May, 1321. In 1312, his lordship was nomi-
nated governor of Gloucester; and in 1314, governor of the
town and castle of Berwick-upon-Tweed. In 1315, he was
constituted justice of South Wales, and had che custody of
all the castles there. In 1319, by the title of the king's be-
loved kinsiHcin, he was made .steward of the duchy of Aqui-
taine ; but in 1321, joining Thomas Plantagenet, Earl of
Lancaster, he was committed prisoner to Wallingford Castle,
where he d. 31 May, 1326, leaving, with other issue, by his
wife, Eva, dau. of Eudo la Zouche,
Thomas, his successor.
Slaurice (Sir), from whom descended the Lords Bottetourt, the
Lords Berkeley of Stratton, and the Berkeleys of Pylle,
represented by Lord Portman.
His lordship's eldest son,
Thomas, succeeded as 3rd lord, and was summoned to
parliament from 14 Jmre, 1329, to 20 Nov. 1360. To this
nobleman the custody of the unhappy Edward II. was
committed at Berkeley Castle ; but, owing to the humanity
with which his lordship treated the captive monarch, he
was soon after obhged to deliver the castle and his prisoner
to Lord Maltravers and Sir Thomas Goumay. After the
murder of the unfortunate prince, Lord Berkeley was
arraigned as a participator in the foul deed, but honourably
acquitted. His lordship d. 27 Oct. 1361, and was s. by his
eldest son by his first wife, Margaret, dau. of Roger de
Mortimer, Earl of March, and widow of Robert de Vere,
Earl of Oxford,
Maurice, 4th lord, summoned to parliament, 25 Feb.
1342. This nobleman attended the Black Prince into Gas-
conj', and was wounded in the celebrated battle of Poietiers.
His lordship m. Elizabeth, dau. of Hugh le Despencer, and
had, with other issue,
Thomas, his successor.
James (Sir), who „>. Elizabeth, dau. and heir of Sir John
Bluet, Knt., with whom he had the manor of Ragland, and
a fair estate in Gloucestershire. He d. in 1404, leaving a
son,
James, who s. his uncle as 6th lord.
His lordship was s. at his decease by his eldest son,
Thomas, 5th lord, who m. Margaret, dau. and heir of
Gerard Warren, Lord L'Isle, and left an only child,
Elizabeth, in. to Richard Beauchamp, 12th Earl of Wai-ndck.
Thomas, 5th Lord Berkeley, thus dying without male issue,
was s. by his nephew,
James Berkeley, 6th lord. This nobleman m. 1st, a dau.
of Humphrey Stafford, of Hooke, eo. Dorset, but by her had
no issue. He 'in. 2ndly, Isabel, widow of Hein-y, son and
heir of Wilham, Lord Ferrers of Groby, and 2nd dau. of
Thomas Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk,* and earl marshal
of England, and had foiu- sonsf and three dans. His lord-
ship d. in 1463, and was s. by his eldest son,
William, 7th lord, who was created, 21 April, 1481, J-Vs-
count Berkeley: advanced to the dignity of Earl of Notting-
ham, 1483 ; and created Marquess of Berkeley, 28 Jan.
1489-90. This gi-eat nobleman had a dispute with Thomas
Talbot, Viscount L'Isle, concerning some lands claimed by
the latter in right of his grandmother, Margaret, Countess
of Shrewsbury ; and the qviarrel rose to such a height, that
the disputants encountered each other with their respective
followers, at Wotton-under-Edge, in 1469, when the Viseoiuit
L'Isle was mortally wounded by an an-ow shot through his
mouth. The marquess d. 14 Feb. 1491-2, and, leaving no
issue, his own hononrs ceased ; but the barony of Berkeley
should have passed to his brother Maurice, had not the
marquess, in anger with his kinsman, settled the castle of
Berkeley, and those lands and lordships which composed
the ancient barony, upon Henry' VII., and his majesty's
heirs male, in failure of which to descend to his own right
heirs. In consequence of this conveyance,
SIaurice (Sth baron by right), enjoj'ed none of the
estates, and was entirely deprived of the peerage. His
brother's displeasure was attributed to his having married
a person of mean blood, namely, Isabel, dau. of Philip
Meade, Esq., and alderman of Bristol This Maurice ob-

BIDDULPH.
BiDDULPH, Sir Theophilus-
WiLLiAM, of We.stcombe, co.
Kent; b. 18 Jan. 1830; s. as 7th
baronet, on the decease of his
father, 15 July, 1854.
The Saxon words — Bidde, or Bida, "prayer, entreaty,'
(fee, and Ulph, "assistance, protection," <&c. — of which the
surname Biddutph is said to be composed, would indicate
that he who first adopted it had been employed in some
embassy or mission, to seek aid, and thence acquired the
designation. The family is certainly of remote antiquity ;
and Erdeswick, in bis Survey of Staffordshire, says "The
Biddulphs derive themselves from one Ormus le Guidon,
Lord of Darlaveston, Bvickinghall, Biddulph, &c. , in Staf-
fordshii-e, who lived in the time of Doomsday." (For a
more detailed account of the Biddulph family, in all its
branches, the Biddulphs of Burton, Chirk Castle, Ledbury,
and Amrotk Castle, see Burke'.s Landed Gentry.) A pedi-
gree extant deduces the line from Ormus, to
Richard Biddulph, of Biddulph, living in 1598, from
■whom descended
Simon Biddulph, Esq. of Elmhurst, co. Stafford, whose
great-great-grandson,

Kent (3rd son of Michael Biddulph, Esq., by Elizabeth,
eldest dau. of Sir William Skeffing-ton, Bart, of Fisherwick,
CO. Stafford), was created a Baronet 2 Nov. 1664. Sir Theo-
philus m. Susannah, dau. of Zachary Highland, Esq., an
alderman of the city of Loudon, and had, with other issue,

This .ancient family has given birth to three distinct races
of poors, viz., tho Lords of Guisnes, in France ; the Barons
B L O
of Ixworth in Suffolk (wliich barony ceased with Sir William
Blount, Baron of Ixworth, who was slain fighting under the
banner of Montfort, Earl of Leicester, at the battle of Lewes,
and subsequently attainted, by parliament, in the reign of
Henry IIL); and the Barons of Movmtjoy, of Thu-vcston,
CO. Derby, which barony expired in IGSl. (See Burke's
Extinct Peerage.) Its settlement in England is traced to the
Conquest, and its genealogy deduced from the Biondi, or
Blondi, of Italy.
RoDOLPH, 3rd Count of Guisnos, had three sons by his
wife, Rosetta, dau. of the Count of St. Pol, all of whom
accompanied the Norman, in his expedition against Eng-
land, in 1066 ; and, contributing to the triumph of their
chief, shared amply in the spoils of conquest. One of the
brothers retm-ned to his native country ; the other two
adopted that which they had so gallantly helped to win,
and abided there ; of these,
Sir Robert le Blount was the 1st feudal Baron of Ixworth,
but of him presently.
Sir William le Blount was a general of foot at Hastings,
and had grants of seven lordships in Linonlnshire. His son
was seated at Saxlinghani, in Norfolk, and the great-grand-
dau. of that gentleman,
Maria le Blount, sole heiress of her line, marrying, in the
next century. Sir Stephen le Blount, united "the families
of the two brothers.
The elder son,
Sir Robert le Blount, had the command of the Con-
queror's ships of war, and is styled " Dux Navium
Militarium." His portion of the Spolia Opiiiia embraced
thirteen manors in Suffolk, in which county he was the
first feudal Baron of Ixworth (the place of his residence)
and Lord of Orford Castle ; he m. Gundreda, yoimgest dau.
of Henry, Earl Fcn-ers, and had a son and heir,
Gilbert le Blount, 2nd Baron of Ixworth, from whom
we pass to
William le Blount, 6th Baron of Ixworth, who was
standard-bearer to Simon de Montfort, and fell at the
battle of Lewes, 14 May, 1264. He was attainted and the
Barony of Ixworth forfeited. He left no issue, so that the
representation of the family devolved upon his uncle.
Sib Stephen lb Blount, who m. as stated, Maria le
Blount, heiress of Saxliugham, and had two sons,
Sir Robert, his heir.
Sir John, who m. Constance, one of the sisters and heirs of
. Sir Richard de Wrotham, justice of the Common Pleas.
The elder son.
Sir Robert Blount, m. Isabel, dau. and co-heir of the
feudal Lord of Odinsels, by whom he acquired the manor
of Belton, in Rutlandshire, and had two sons. Sir Ralph
Blount, (from whom derived tlie extinct Lords Blount of
Belton ; and Nicholas le Blount, who took the name of
Croke, ancestor of the Crokes of Studley Priory,) and
Sir William Blount, who m . Lady Isabel de Beauchamp,
dau. of William, 1st Earl of Warwick, and widow of Heniy
Lovet, of Elmley Lovet, co. Worcester, and dying in the
9th or loth of Edward II., left a son,
Sir Walter le Blount, Knt. of Ookha, othei-wise Rook,
in the eo. Wai-wick ; who m. Johanna, .3rd sister and co-heir
of Sir William de Sodiugton, and acquired the Estnte of
Sodington, which to this day continues one of the principal
seats of the family. Sir Walter d. in 1332, and was s. by
his elder son.
Sir William le Blount. This gentleman m. Margaret,
dau. and co-heir of Theobald de Verdon, second baron de
Verdon, but dying issueless,* loft his property to his
brother.
Sib John Blount, who m. Isolda, dau. and heiress of
Sir Thomas Mountjoy, whence the title of Mountjoy was
afterwards assumed as a barony by a member of the family.
From this Sir John we pass to his lineal descendant,
Sir George Blount, Knt. of Sodington, who m. Eleanor,
dau. of William Norwood, Esq. of Leekhampton, Gloucester-
shire, and was s. by his eldest son,
I. Sir Walter Blount, Knt. , who was created a Baronet,
5 Oct. 1642. This gentleman suflTcred severely in the cause
of Charles I., and was imprisoned at Oxford, and in the

This family springing in the male line from the Poets,
Lords of Basing, co. Southampton, at the Conquest, derives,
through the female line, from
William de St. John,* who came into England with the
Conqueror, as grand master of the artillery, and supervisor
of the wagons and carriages ; whence the horses' hames, or
collar, was borne for his cognizance. He m. Ohvia, dau. of
Ralph de Filgiers, of Normandy, and had by her, Thomas
who d. without issue, and
John de St. John, who inherited, on the demise of his
brother, all the lands in England, and principally the lord-
ship of Stanton, co. Oxon (for distinction from the other
towns of the same name, called Stanton St. John). This
John was a person of great emhience in the [^ign of
William Rufus, being one of the twelve knights that
accompanied Robert Fitz-Hamon, Eari of Gloucester, m a
* The name was taken from the territory of St. John, near
Rouen.

warlike expedition against tbe Welsh, and received, "in
reward for his yreat serN-iees, and helps in many victories,"
the castle of Faumont, co. Glamorgan. He had issue, a dau.
Avoris, m. to Sir Bernard de St. Valury, and two sons,
I. Roger, of whom presently.
II. Thomas, Lord of Staulon St. John, living 13 Henbt II.,
whose son,
Roger, was assessed £133 Gs. 8d. for trespassing in the king's
forests, 22 Henbt II. The grandson of tliis Roger,
John St. Joun, was killed at the battle of Evesham,
43 Edw. 111. He was in the holy wars with Richard 1 ,
who, at the siege of Aeon, in Palestine, adopted the
device of tving a leathern thong, or garter, round the
left leg of'a certain number of knights (one of whom
was this John St. John), that they might be impelled to
higher deeds of valour. This is supposed by some to
have given the idea of the Order of the Garter.
The elder son,
BoGER DE St. John, m. Ciceley, dau. and heiress of Robert
do Haya, lord of the manor of Ilalnac, co. Suffolk, a kins-
man of Henry I., and had, with two sons, a dau., Murla.l,
wlio hi. Reginald de Aurea Vallc, or Orvyle, and had a dau.,
Mabil Orvvle, who to. Adam de Pobt, a powerful
feudal baron (liaving the head of his barony at Basing, co.
S )utharapton), and had a son and heir, who, assuming the
surname of his maternal ancestors, became
Wii.t.iAM DE St. John, Lord of Basing, in which lordship
and his other territorial posses.sions he was s. by his son.
Robert de St. John, Lord of Basing, who, in the 42ud of
Henry III., had summons to be at Chester upon Monday
next after the feast of St. John the Baptist, well accoutred
with horse and arms to oppose the incursions of the
Welsh. From the eldest sou of this feudal lord, by Agnes,
dau. of William de Cantelupe,
John, descended the Lords of St. John, of Basing, repre-
sented by the Marquess of Winchester,
And from the second,
William de St. John, of the castle of Faumont, co.
Glamorgan, sprang
Sir Oliver St. .John, who acquired the lordship of
Bletshoe, in the reign of Henry VI., with his wife, Mar-
garet, dau. of Sir John Beauchamp, and sister and s de
heiress of John Lord Beauchamp, of Bletshoe, co. North-
ampton; by which marriage, Lydiard Tregoze came also
into the family of St. John. Sir Oliver St. John d. in 1437,
and his widow in. 2ndly, John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset,
K.G., by whom she had a dau., Margaret, who m. Edmund
Tudor, Earl of Richmond, and by him was mother of
Henry VII. From the elder son of Sir OUver, Sir John
St. John, Knt., descended the Lords St. John, of Bletshoe.
The llnd son,
Oliver St. John, had the lordship of Lydiard Tregoze,
and was, as Ljland writes in his Itinerary, a stout black
mau, and died at Fontarabia, in Spain. He m. Elizabeth,
dau. of Lord Scroope, and left, with three daus., an only
son and heir,
Sir John St. Jokn, chamberlain to Margaret, Countess
of Richmond,* grandmother of Henry VII., and one of
the executors of her will. Sir John d. iu 1512, and was ■?.
by his sou,
John St. John, whose son and heir,

beth, dau. of Sir Richard Blount, of Maple Durham, co.
Oxford, and had issue, John (Sir), who inherited L3'diard ;
Oliver, of whom presently ; and Richard. The second sou,
Oliver St. John, having the misfortune to kill, iu a
duel, one Best, captain of the guard to Queen Eliz.\beth,
was obliged to i-elinquish the study of the law, and fly the
kingdom. Adopting a military Ufe, he obtained consider-
able renown in the wars of Elizabeth and James in Ire-
land, and was eventually advanced to the peerage of that
kingdom, as Vucount OraaiHaon, with linutatiun to the
issue of his nephew, Sir Edward Villiers (which Viscounty
now merges in the earldom of Jersey), and to the peerage
of England, by the title of Baron Tregoze. In the next
year, his lordship obtained a grant of the manors of
Battersea and Wandsworth ; but d. without i.ssue, 30 Dec.
1630, when the English barony expired. The manors of
Battersea and Wandsworth he bequeathed to John, the

BooTHBT, Sir Brooke, of
BroacUow Ash, co. Derby ; 6. 1 8
Nov. 1856 ; s. his father as 11th
baronet, 22 Sept. 1865.
ILtntage.
The Boothbys claim Saxon origin, and the assumption is
sustained by Dugdale and Camden. The former elaborate
antiquary fixes the division of counties (Origines Jaridi-
eaUs, c. ix.) in the year 800, by Egbert; and the latter,
speaking of Lincolnshire, says: "The hundred or vrapen-
take of Boothby, Boothby-Paynell, a market-town, and a
gentleman's old seat called Boothby, were denominated
from one Boothby, who there inhabited."
Theobaldus de Boothby was governor of Pontefract Cas-
tle, which he defended with great gallantry for the Lancas-
trians during the war of the Roses. From this Theobald we
pass to Thomas de Boothby, living in the reign of Edward
VI., whose great-grandson, William de Boothby, m. Judith,
dau. of Thomas Osten, Esq. of Oxley, co. Stafford, and by
her (who m. 2ndly, William Basset, Esq. of Blore, Stafford-
shire; and Srdly, Sir Robert Corbet, Bart.) he had, with
other issue,
I. Henry Boothby, Esq., who was created a Baronet,
5 Nov. 1644, by letters patent, which received the sign-
manual of Charles I. , but did not pass the seals, owing to
the confusion of the civil wars. All the real estates enjoyed
by Sir Henry he derived from the good management of his
mother, his father having devised him money only. This
lady, through her own exertions, was enabled to leave her
son an estate in London ; another called Kingsland, m Mid-
dlesex ; Claterclote, Claden, and the manor of Cropperdy, in
Oxfordshire ; Bradlow-Ash, Cold Eaton, King's Mills, and
the lands thereto belonging, near A:,hbounie, Derbyshu-e ;
one-half of the manor or park of Cheadle, with Longnor,
and other possessions in Staffordshire. Su' Henry m. Mary,
dau. of Sir Thomas Hayes, Kjit. , lord mayor of London in
1615, and was s. at his decease, in 1648, by his only son,
II. Sir William, who received the honour of knighthood,
in the field, from Charles II. at the Restoration ; and the
king was pleased to renew, gratis, the patent granted to
his father, by the name of Sir William Boothby, " of Broad-
low Ash," the original being designated " of Clator Close,"
but from the date of 12 July, 1660. This gentleman m. 1st,
Frances, dau. of Col. Milward, of Snitterton, co. Derby, and
had one son,
Francis, who m. Anne, dau. and co-heir of Thomas Child,
Esq., but dying before his father, left an only child,
Henry, who s. his grandfatlier.
Sir Wilham m. 2ndly, Hill, eldest dau. and co-heir of Sir
WUIiam Brooke, K.B., and grand-niece of Henry, Lord
Cobham, by whom he had ten children, two of whom only

nephew.

Fitzherbert, Esq., a son,

Sir Charles-Henry inherits two baronetcies : of one
he is the 11th in succession; of the other, the 3rd.
The family of Rouse is of very high antiquity in the
several counties of Sussex, Worcester, Warwick, Gloucester,
and Hereford. Dr. Nash, in his History of Worcester,
mentions that its patriarch in that shire accompanied the
Conqueror into England ; and the .statement is confiiTned
by the Battle Abbey Roll. On 23 July, 1641, the dignity of
Baronet was conferred upon
Thomas Rouse, Esq. of Rouse, Lench, co. Worcester,
eldest son of Sir John Rouse, Knt. He vi. 1st, Jane, dau.

Thomas-Phinips Rouse, Esq.
Sir Thomps hi. 2ndly, Frances, dau. of David Mun-ay, Esq.
and had by her, two sons, Francis and Thoiias. The
youngest of these sons.
Sir Thomas Rodse, the 4th bart., d. in 1T21, when the
issue male failed, and the estates of Sir Thomas passed to
his then only surviving sister,
Elizabeth Rouse, at whose decease, unm. in 1729, he
sister Mary's grandson, the next male relation of the family,
inherited, viz.,
Thomas Phillips, Esq., who assumed the surname and
arms of Rouse, and took up his residence at Rouse Lench.
This gentleman served the office of high-sheriff of Worces-
ter, as Thomas Rouse, Esq., in 1733. He d. unm. in 1768,
and was s. by his cousin,
Charles-William Boughton, Esq. (2nd son of Shuck-
burgh Houghton, Esq. of Poston Court, co. Hereford, and
grandson of Sir William Boughton, 4th bart. of Lawford,
CO. Warwick), who assumed the siu-name of Rouse, and
represented the boroughs of Evesham and Bramber, as
Charles -Wilham Boughton - Rouse, Esq. Mr. Boughton -
Rouse was chief secretary, in 1784, to the Board of Control,
and, upon retii-ement from office, was created a Baronet,
28 June, 1791 ; but very soon aftei-wards he inherited the
baronetage of his own family, the Boughtons, to which we
must now revert.
I. William Bouohton, Esq. of Lawford, son of Edward
Boughton, and Ehzabeth his wife, heiress of Edward
Catesby, grandson of William Boughton (who d. 38
Elizabeth), by Jane his wife, sister of Thomas Coningsby,
and great-grandson, by Ehzabeth his wife, dau. and co-heir
of William Willington, of Barcheston, co. Warwick, of
Edward Boughton, who d. 1 Edward VI., was created a
Baronet 4 Aug. 1641. He m. Abigail, eldest dau. and co-
heir of Henry Baker, Esq., and was s. at his decease by his
eldest son,
II. Sir EDWARr, who m. twice (his wives were, Mary,
dau. of Thomas Pope, Earl of Down ; and Anne, dau. of
Sir John Heydon, Knt., governor of the Bermuda.s), but
having no issue, was s. in 1680, by his brother,
III. Sib William. This gentleman m. Mary, dau. of
Hastings Ingram, Esq. of Little Woolford, co. Wanvick ;

Catherine, m. to William Smith, Esq. of Polton, co. War-
121

an only son,
IV. Sir William, M.P. for the co. Warwick, in the reign
of Anne. This gentleman m. 1st, Mary, dau. of Mr. Alder-
man Ramsey, of the city of London, and had, Edward, his
successor, and two daus., Mary, the wife of Sir Henry
Houghton, Bart., and Anne. He //;. 2ndly, Catherine, dau.

siu'viving issue,

ton, bishop of Durham ; Anne, m. to John Paitherford, Esq. ;

V. Sir Edward, who m. Grace, eldest dau. of Sir John
Shuekburgh, Bart., and was s. in Feb. 1721-2, by his only
child,
VI. Sir Edward. This gentleman, by his 2nd wife,
Anna Maria Beauchamp, an heiress, left a dau., who m,
John Donellan, Esq., and an only son, his successor, in 1772.
Vtl. Sir Theodosius- Edward- Allesley. The sudden
death of this gentleman, during his minority, caused an
extraordinary sensation at the period it occurred. Sir
Theodosius was confined to his bed by severe indisposition,
at the family mansion of Lawford Hall, wherein his mother,
and Captain and Mrs. Donellan (his sister and brother-in-
law) were at the time residing. Having tajiien a draught
from the hands of Lady Boughton, the unfortunate gen-
tleman almost immediately expired, 21 Aug. 1780. Sus-
picion of poison subsequently arising, the body, after being
deposite.i in the famUy vault, was disinterred, when a
coroner's inquest returned a verdict of murder agxinst
Captain Donellan, who was tried at the spring assizes at
Wai-wick, in 1781, before Judge BuUer, and was found
guilty, and executed. It must be remarked, howeve.-, in
justice to the memory of Donellan, that the evidence against
him was solely circumstantial, and not of the strongest
nature ; and that he died solemnly protesting his innocence.
Dr. Parr, who was at the trial, thought him wrongly con-
victed. The widow of Captam Donellan m. Sir Egerton
Leigh, Bart., and after his decease, BaiTy-E. O'Meara, Esq.,
the medical attendant at St. Helena of the Emperor Napo-
leon I., and the well-known author of "A Voice from St.
Helena," and d. 30 Jan. 1830. Upon the melancholy death
of Sir Theodosius, the title devolved on his cousin,
VIII. Sir Edward, grandson to the 4th bart , as par
ticularized above. This gentleman, who pulled down tl e
mansion of Lawford Hall, and sold the estates in the cos.
Warwick and Leicester, d. vnm. in 1794, when the title
devolved upon his only brother, the before-mentioned (as
legatee of Thomas (PhilUps) Rouse, Esq. of Rouse Lench),
IX. and I. Sir Charles- William Bouhgton-Rouse, Bart,
of Rouse Lench, co. Worcester, and of Down ton Hall, co.
Salop (so created 28 July, 1791), who, upon inheriting his
own family honours, resumed his paternal surname of
Boughton. This gentleman m. in 1782, Catherine, only

The family of Brougham is of Saxon descent, and derives
its surname from Buegham, afterwards called Ci'ougham,
a parish in Westmoreland, the ancient Broeavum, or Brovo-
niacum, of the Romans. In the Itinerary of Aatoninu.?,
" Iter 'V. a Londinis Luguvallium ad WaUium" (London to
Carlisle), it is stated thus : ' ' Verteris (Brough) ad Brocavo.
M.P. XX. ruihi quidem Broeavum esse Brougham. " Camden,
B R O
B R O
ill his Britannia (Edit. 1600, p. 68 0, says: "Eden runs
along not far from Howgill, a castle of tbe Sandfords ; but
the Roman militai-y way passes directly through Wliinfield,
a large park, thick set Tvith trees, to Brovoniacum, twenty
ItaUan miles, but seventeen English, from Verterse, as
Antoninus has fixed it ; he calls it also Brocovrim, as the
Notitia Broconiacimi, from which we understand the com-
pany of Dtfensorcs had their abode here. Though age lias
consumed both its buildings and splendour, the name is
pi-eserved almost entire in the present one of Brouoham ;
the antiquity whereof has been fm-ther confirmed of late
years by the chscovery of Roman coins, altars, and other
testimonies." The ancient hne of the Brouohams is Uke-
wise alluded to by Hutchinson, in his History of Cumberlaml.
The estate of Burgham or Brougham belonged to the
Brougham family before the Conquest. This is proved from
the faot, that the earliest possessors had Brougham at the
time of the Conquest, and continued to hold it afterwards
by the tenure of drengage, a tenm-e liy miUtary service, but
distinguished at that time from knight's service, inasmuch
as those only held their lands by di-engage who had possessed
them before the Conquest, and were continued in them after
submitting to the Conqueror.
This Gilbert, about the fourth year of King John, granted
to Robert de Vipont one half of the tovra of Brougham,
together with the advowson of the rectory — but no part of
the manor — although the castle, then a single tower, which
was afterwards enlarged Viy Roger Chfford, Vipout's succes-
sor, stands within the manor of Brougham.
We now proceed to the descent of the family from
Walter, who possessed Brougham before the Conquest.
Walter de Burgham was lord of the manor and estate
of Burgham in the time of Edward the Confessor, and ho
retained possession after the Conquest, as tenant in capite,
by the tenure of drengage. From him descended
Wilfrid de Burgham, who lived in the time of Hexey I.
He was succeeded by
Sir Ud.^rd de Broham, Knt. (or as it is sometimes
wi'itten, Odard de Burgham), who, in the early part of the
reign of Henry II. had the custody of Appleby Castle, and
was fined in the Exchequer 20 marks, for delivering it to
the King of Scots. In the 2i2nd of Henry II., he took part
with other barons against the king, and was again heavily
fined. He was succeeded by his son,
Gilbert de Broham, mentioned in the record of the
seventeen di-engi. He was succeeded by
Henry de Burgham, lord of the manor of Burgham in
the reign of Edward I. In 130.3, his dau. Dorothy m. John
de Carlton, ancestor of the Barons Dorchester. In the time
of Edward III.,
John de Burgham possessed the manor, and was sherifl
of Westmorland in 1351, under Lord Chfford. He was s. by
his son.
Sir John de Borgham, Knt., who having some dispute
with Lord Chfford, respecting the extent of the manor, a
solemn deed, dated 2 Richard II., was entered into be-
tween them, for the pui-pose of defining and fixing for ever
the bomidaries of the manor of Bm-gham,
In 13S3, Sh- John de Burgham was knight of the shire for
the CO. Cumberland with John de Kirkby. He ra. the dau.
and heu'ess of John de Tynedale, and his daughter, Ahce,
m. John Vaux, of Catteiien. He was s. at his decease, as
found by the inquisitio post mortem, by his son,
John de Burgham, lord of Burgham, M.P. for CarUsle
in 1394 and 1396, and was s. by
Thomas de Burgham, lord of Burgham, and, in 1436,
knight of the shire, with William Stajiilton, for the co. of
Cumberland, and a king's justice for the northern counties.
This Thomas appears subsequently to have dropped the
(7e before his name. Thomas Burgham j/i. a dau. of Sir
John KirkVjride, of Braithwaite- Howes, in the co Cum-
berland, and thus acquired that estate. He was s. by
John Burgham, who was lord of Burgham in the reign
of Edward IV. ; and by an inquisition post mortem, taken
at Burgham in 1494, it was found that the said John died
seised of the manor, and that he was i«. by his son and heir,
John Burgham, who, in 1504, possesed Bm-gham. He
5)1. a dau. of Dudley of Yanwath, and his dau., Isabella, m.
Thomas de Carleton. He was s. by
Gilbert Burgham, lord of Burgham, tern}''. Hen. VIII.,
who was «. by
Thomas Burgham, lord of Burgham in 1553. This gen-
tleman m. Jane, dau. and heiress of John Vaux, of Catter-
leu and Tryemiayne (sec Burke's Extinct and Dormant
Peeragi}, and had two sons, viz., i. Henry Burgham :
n. Peter Brougham, of whom presently The elder son,
Henry Burgham, was lord of Burgham in the reign of
133
Elizabeth, as appears by a grant, signed " Henricns Burg-
ham," and scaled with the seal of his arms. This Henry ?n.
Catherine Nevill, dau. and heir of Sir Ralph NeviU, of
Thornton Briggs, co. York, and widow of Sir Walter Stirk-
land, Knt., as appears by a fine levied by her in the 18th
Henry VIII. He was s. by his son and heh-,
Thomas, who was in the commission of the peace for
the CO. Cumberland ; he d. s. p. in 1607, as appears by a
deed, dated 29 March, 1608, reciting that Ehzabeth, Mar-
garet, and Katherine, being the sisters and co-heirs of the
said Thomas Brougham, did, for the consideration therein-
mentioned, demise unto the said Agnes, his widow, all
that the manor, capital messuage, and demesne lands
called Brougham Hall, with the appurts., to hold to Agnes
and her assigns during her life, &c.
Peter Brougham, of Blackhall, in the co. Cumberland,
uncle and heir of the last mentioned Thomas, m. Anne,
dau. and heiress of John Southaic, of Scales Hall, in, Cum-
berland, and thus acquired that estate. He d. in 1570, and
was s. by his son,
Henry Brougham, of Scales and Blackhall. This gen-
tleman served the office of sheriff for the co. Cumberland.
He m. 1st, Jane, dau. of John Wharton, of Kirby-Thore,
by whom he had an only dau., Jane, m. to Edward Aglionby.
Mr. Brougham vi. 2ndly, Catherine, dau. of Thomas Fallow-
field, of Melkinthorpe Hall, co. Westmorland ; and dying
n 1622, was s. by his son,
Thom.^s BROUGHA.M, Esq. of Scales, who served the office
of sherifi" for Cumberland. He m. Mary, dau. of Daniel
Fleming, Esq. of Skirvrith (ancestor of the Flemings of
Rydal, created a Baronet in 1705), and had issue, i. Henry,
his successor ; ii, Thomas ; iii. Christopher ; iv. Wilham ;
V. John; vi. Toby; i. Agnes, m. to Anthony Wybergh,
Esq., youngest son of Thomas Wybergh, Esq. of C'hfton
Hall, Westmoreland ; and ii. Mary. Mr. Brougham d. in
164S, and was s. by his son,
Henry Brougham, of Scales, who enlarged his posses-
sions there, and greatly added to Scales Hall. A MS.
preserved in the Dean and Chapter Library, at Carhsle,
called Bishop Nicholson's 3IS. and described as A Cursory
Relation of all the Antiquities of Families of Cumberland,
written about 1675, speaks thus of this Henry and his
predecessors : — " Next adjoinmg, Squire Browham ancient
heir male of all the Squire Broughams, of Brougham Hall,
in Westmorland, built him a very fine house at Scales, and
lives there. His grandfather, Henry Brougham, married
Jane Wharton, daughter of Squire Wharton, of Kirby-
Thore. His father, Thomas, mamed Mary, daughter of
Squire Daniel Fleming, of Skirwith, and cousin of Squire
Fleming, lord of Ridall ; and this Squh-e Browham married
fair Miss Slee, dau. of Mr. Slee, of Carlisle, a jovial gentle-
man of £300 a-year." The same MS. has the following
passage, at p. 118. relating to Brougham Hall : — Then this
great Roman way brings you to the castle, near which was
a great Rom : campe, as I have been informed, leaving on
the left Broirham H : the seat of the Browhams, and also a
faire house, newly built in Browham, by James Bird, an
attorney at law. And close by the castle runs the river
Emote, which the way crosses, and so goes through
Carleton, by Penrith, which it lieves on the left, near to
Carlisle, as I sayd before. From this castle you have the
prospect of Lowther Hall, the chief and ancient seat of
[illegible] and Clifton Hall, which is to be referred to
Kendal waj', and likewise of Penrith, and Penrith Castle,
and Carleton Hall, on the other side of the water, in the
county of Cumbeiland, likewise of Brougham Hall and Chapel
and Mr. Bird's house, which lye in the way if you go by
the Bridges from hence to Peni-ith." By his 1st wife,
Mr. Bi-ougham had four children, Thomas ; Henry ; Anne ,
b. in 1683 ; d. in Feb. 1789, at the age of 106, having lived in
the reigns of seven sovereigns, viz. Charles II., James II.,
William and Mary, Anne, aud the first three Georges ;
.Joane. Neither of his sons survived him. He m. 2ndly,
Elizabeth, dau. and ultimately sole heir of John Lamialugh,
Esq. of Lamplugh, in Cumberland, and had,
I. Thomas, receiver-general of Cumberland and Westmore-
land, who ('. in 1716, s. j).
II. Bernard, d. s.^. in 1750.
III. John, who s. to the estate of Scales Hall, and possessed,
besides large estates in Cumberland, among others, the
manor of Distington, which he sold, in 1737, to Sir James
Lowther, Bart. It is now the property of the Earl of Lons-
dale, and from it he derives his chief coal revenue.
IV. Peter, ni. Elizabeth, dau. and heiress of Christopher Rich-
mond, Esq. of Highhead Castle, co. Cumberland (who was
granlson and heir of John Vaux, of Catterlen, through his
mother, Mabel Vaux, that gentleman's dau. and sole heir),

Walterus le Brun, or Eron, progenitor of the Brouns
of Colstoun, was one of the witnesses, with Queen Matilda
and twenty-two noldes, to the inquisition on church lands
in Glasgow, made by Prince David (in 1116), during the
reign of his brother, Alexander I. Walter le Brun at-
tended Queen Matilda (wife of David I.) to Scotland, and
obtained f(jr himself and his posterity the baronies of
CoLSTOUN, in Haddingtonshire, and Glamilshiels, in Ber-
wickshire. He was s. by his son.
Sir David le Brun, Baron of Colstoun, who devised to
the Abbacy of Holyrood House "lands and acres in terri-
tories de Colstoun," for prayers to be said "for the soul of
Alexander II. and the health of his son." Sir David was
one of the witnesses, along with King David I., in laying
the foundation stone of the abbey of Holyrood House, 13
May, 1125. -His descendant,
Ralph le Brun was one of the Scottish Barons who swore
fealty at Bei-wick to Edward I., 23 Aug. 1296. His des-
cendant,
RiciiiARD LE Brun, keeper of the king's peace in Cumber-
land, then a portion of Scotland, was one of the principal
noblemen who headed the conspiracy occasioned by the
demand of the Charters in the year 1323. His grandson.
Sir William Broun, 6th Baron of Colstoun, in the reign
of James I., ra. Margaret de Annand, co-hciress of the
Barony of Sauchy. This Sir William Broun was warden of
the West Marches : his grandson,
William Broun, 9th Baron of Colstoun, who flourished
in 1480 and downwards, was lord-director of the court of
Chancery. In descent from him, the ICth Baron of Cols-
toun,
Geokge Broun, ra. Jean Hay, dau. of Lord Tester, an-
cestor of the Marquess of Tweeddale. The dowry of this
lady consisted of the famous Colstoun Pear, which Hugo
de Gifford, of Tester, who d. in 1267, her remote ancestor,
famed for bis necromantic powers, was supposed to have
invested with the extraordinary virtue of securing, for the
family who might possess it, unfailing prosl^el■it3^ This
Palladium is preserved at Colstoun with the care due to so
singular an heir-loom, which regardless of the superstition,
must be esteemed a very wonderful vegetable curiosity,
having existed for more than five centuries. By his mar-
riage, George Broun had issue three sons,
I. George, his heir.
II. John, who!3e line ended in Andalusia Broun, who ra.
Robert-Alexander Dalzell, 10th Earl of Carnwath.

II. SiE George Broun, who m. the Lady Elizabeth
M'Kenzie, dan. of George, 1st Earl of Cromarty ; and d. in
171S, without male issue. It is reported of Lady Elizabeth,
the first night after her marriage when she slept at Colstoun
House, that she dreamed she had eaten the pear, which
her father-in-law looked on as a bad omen, and expressed
gi-eat fears that she would be an instrument in the destruc-
tion of the house of Colstoun. Whether owing to the lady's
fault does not appear, but, shortly after, the family split
betwixt the heirs-male and the heirs-of-line ; the title
devolved, as will be presently sliown, upon the Thornydyke
branch, and the estates came to the heiress above mentioned,
who III. George Brown, of Eastfield, ancestor of George Brown,

Sir Richard le Scot, the undoubted ancestor of this
family, was a person of great distinction in the reign of
Alexander III. of Scotland. He m. the dau. and heiress
of Murthockstone of that ilk, by whom he obtained a
considerable estate in Lanarkshire, and, as a feudal lord
thereof, swore fealty to Edward I., of England, anno 1296.
Upon his marriage, Sir Richard assumed the cognizance of
Murthockstone, wiiich was a bend azure, into his armorial
bearings, disposing thereon the crescents and star, the arms
•of Scot, as since borne by the Dukes of Buccleuch. He d.
in 1320; and from him lineally descended
Sir David Scot, of Branxholm, who sat in the parlia-
ment held by James III. at Edinburgh, anno 1487, under
the designation of " Soiidnus de Buccleuch," being the first
of the family so designated. The grandson of this Sir David,
Sir Walter Scott, of Branxholm and Buccleuch, s. in
1492. This laird, a brave and powerful baron, and warden
of the west marches of Scotland, is celebrated by historians
for deeds of valour and mignauimity during the minority
of James V., and for an abortive attempt to rescue that
monarch from the control of tlic Earl of Angus ; on which
Sir Walter Scott h'.s founded TJie Lay of the Last Minstrel.
Soon after the king had assumed the management of his
own affairs, he privately s .lioited the aid of Buccleuch, who,
being apprised that James, accompanied by Angus and a
H7
BUG
considerable retinue, was coming to Melross, raised about
1000 horse of his friends and followers to relieve the king.
The adherents of Buccleuch and Angus came in sight near
Melross, 18 July, 1526, and a sanguinary conflict ensued ;
but the earl was successful, after the fall of a number of
men of rank on both sides, Sir Walter Scott himself being
wounded and barely escaping from the field. He was after-
wards distinguished at the battle of Pinkie, anno 1547 ; and
eventually lost his life in a rencounter with Sir Walter Kerr,
of Cessford, in the streets of Edinburgh, 1552. Sir Waltei
7)1. 1st, Elizabeth Carmichael, of the Hyndford family, by
whom he had two sons. He m. 2ndly, Janet, dau. of John
Bethuue, of Creich, "of Bethuuc's line of Pioardio," and
had two sons and three daus. The last lady of Sir Walter
was a woman of masculine spirit, as appeared from her
riding at the head of her clan after her husband's murder.
Sir Walter S.-ott was s. by his grandson.
Sir Walter Scott, of Buccleuch. This was a person of
rare qualities, wise, true, stout, and modest. He signecJ
the association in support of James VI. in 1567, but sub-
sequently turned to the party of the Queen, to whom he
remained faithful, notwithstanding her extorted resigna-
tion of the crown, and her captivity in England. He m
Lady Margaret Douglas, eldest dau. of David, 7th Earl of
Angus, and dying 17 Apiil, 1574, was s. by his only son,
S;r Walter Scott, of Buccleuch. This powerful chieftain,
no way inferior to the bravest of his ancestors in courage
and intrepidity, received the honour of knighthood from
James VI., by whom he was appointed warden of the west
marches in 1590. Having subsequently cirried on a pre-
datory warfare against the English, and boldly rescued
one of his attendants, Kinmont Will, from the castle of
Carlisle, he was delivered up as a hostage upon an adjust-
ment of the feuds between the English and Scots. During
his sojourn in England, family tradition states that he Vi-as
brought into the presence of Queen Elizabeth, who de-
manded, in her usual arbitrary manner, how lie dAi»3d to
engage in deeds so desperate and presumptuous? " What
is it," answered the undaunted chieftain, " what is it that
a man dares not do?" Elizabeth, struck with this reply,
said to a lord in waiting : " With ten thousand such men,
our brother of Scotland might shake the firmest throne iu
Europe." Sir Walter was elsvated to the peerage, 16 March,
1606, as Lord Scott of Buccleuch. His lordship afterwards,
as a military commander, attained considerable renown
in the Netherlands, under Maurice, Prince of Orange. He
in. Mary, dau. of Sir William Kerr, of Cessford, and sister
of Robert, 1st Earl of Roxburgh, and dying in 1611, was s-
by his only son,
Walter, 2nd baron, who was created 16 March, 1619,
Lord Whitchester and Eskdale, and Earl of Bucclevch, with
remainder to his heirs whatsoever. This nobleman was
also a mllitaiy character, and had the command of a regi-
ment under the States of Holland, against the Spaniards.
His lordship m. Lady Maiy Hay, dau. of Francis, Earl of
Errol, and dying in 1633, was s. by his only son,
Francis, 2nd earl, who m Lady Margaret Lesly, only
dau. of John, Earl of Rothes, and widow of Lord Balgonic ;
by whom he left, at his decease iu 1651, two daus., and wa«
s. by the elder,
Mary, Countess of Buccleuch. Her ladyship m. Walter
Scott, of Highchester, aftei'wards created Earl of Tan-as for
life : at the time of her marriage the countess was but
eleven years of age, and Mr. Scott fourteen. The affair
m.ade a considerable noise, and became matter of discussion
before the provincial Synod of Fife, in 1659, upon an
accusation against the presbytery for grantmg a warrant
for the marriage without proclamatiim. The presbytery
was, however, absolved, because the order was grounded
upon an act of the General Assembly, allowing such mar
riages in case of necessity, or fear of rajie ; and the ladj-o
friends were apprehensive of her being carried off. Tlie
countess died in two years afterwards without issue, and
was s. by her sister,
Anne, 2nd countess, b. in 1651. This lady, who was
esteemed the greatest heiress and finest woman of her
time, 7n. in 1663, James, Duke of Monmouth, K.G., iUo-
gitimatc son of Charles II., by Mrs. Lucy Walters, d.au.
of Richard Walters, Esq. of Haverfordwest, co. Pembroke.
His grace, upon his maniage, assumed the name of Scott,
and himself and his duchess were created, 20 April, 1673,
Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, Earl and Cmntess of
Dalkeith, Baron and Baroness of Whitchester amt Eshlale, iii
Scotland, with remainder to their heirs male, in default of
which to the heirs whatever descending from tlie duke's
body, succeeding in the estate and Earldom of Buccleuot

His grace's honours, however (Scottish and English), -vrcrc
forfeited, upon the execution of the duke, 15 July, 1685 ;
while those enjoyed by the duchess in her own right (Duke-
dom of Buccleuch by creation, and earldom of Buccleuch
by inheritance) remained unaffected by the attainder. The
surviving issue of this union were James, Earl of Dalkeith,
and Henry, created Earl of Beloraine, Viscount Hermitage,
and Baron Scott, in 1706, which honours became extinct,
■with the 4th carl, in 1807. The duchess m. 2ndly, Charles,
3rd Lord Cornwallis, and, at her demise, 6 Feb. 1732, was
s. by her gi-andson,
Francis, as 2nd duke (son of the Earl of Dalkeith, by
Henrietta, 2nd dau. of Laurence Hyde, Earl of Rochester).
His grace obtained a restoration of the Earldom of Don-
caster and Barony of Scott of Tynedale, the English honours
of his gi-audfather, the Duke of Monmouth, by act of parlia-
ment, in 1743. He ??». 5 April, 1720, Lady Jane Douglas,

The Earldom of Buchan, a dignity of great antiquity
iu Scotland, can be traced to the time of William the
Lion. It was conferred by King Robert IL on his 3rd son.
Sir Alexander Stewart, who had also a proportion
of the lands of the Cumyns, the former earls. On the
demise of this nobleman without legitimate issue in 1394,
the Earldom of Buchan passed to (the eldest son of his
brother, Robert, Duke of Albany, by his 2nd wife, Muriella,
dau. of Sir William de Keith grand marischal of Scotland)
his nephew,
John Stewart. This nobleman, a great military cha-
racter, attained high reputation, by the defeat of the English,
under the Duke of Clarence, at Beax-.ge, in Anjou, 22 March,
1421. In this engagement the Duke of Clarence was slain,
having been stunned and unhorsed by Buchan himself, with
a blow of his mace. For this exploit Charles VII. con-
ferred upon him the sword of constable of France. The
earl fell at the battle of Venieuil, 17 Aug. 1424 ; leaving by
his wife. Lady Elizabeth Douglas, an only dau., Margaret,
who m. George, 2nd Lord Seton. At his lordshij^'s decease,
the Earldom of Buchan devolved, according to the limita-
tion, upon Mui-dac, Duke of Albany, and reverted to the
crown, by the forfeiture of that nobleman, the next year.
The dignity was next conferred upon
James Stewart, called Hearty James, 2ud son of Sir
James Stewart, the Black Knight of Lorn, by Jane, Queen
of Scotland, mother(by James I.) of James II. ; and by his
male descendants the Eaiidom of Buchan was enjoyed until
the decease of
John, 3rd earl, who was .'. by (the dau. of his eldest son,
John, master of Buchan, killed at the battle of Pinkie,
10 Sept. 1547) his granddau..
Christian Stewart, Countessof Buchan, who espousing
Robert Douglas, 2nd son of Sir Robert Douglas, of Loch«
leven, that gentleman became, in her right,
Robert Douglas, Earl of Buchan. His lordship was c.
by his sou,
James Douglas, who was served heir to his father, in
1583, under the designation of "James Douglas," and to
his mother in 1588, as " James, now Earl of Buchan."
His lordship i/i. Maj-garet Ogilvie, dau. of Walter, Lord
Doskford, and dying in 1601, left an only child and heiress,
Mary Douglas, Countess of Buchan. This heiress m.

B [J C
James Erskine, eldest son, by his 2nd wife, of John, Earl of
MaiT, lord high treasui-er of Scotland, who thereupon as-
sumed the Earldom of Buchan. On the resign;ition of
which, with consent of her tutors, she being then under age,
a roj'al charter was granted, 22 March, 1617, of the lands
forming the Earldom of Buchan, bvit was conceived not
legally to carry the honours, because even if they wore
I'esigned, the acceptance had not the signature of the
eovereigu. This cliarter was taken to tlie countess and her
husband, the said James Erskine, and the longest liver of
them, in conjoint life-rent, and the heirs male of their
bodies, whom failing, to the said James Erskine and his
nearest and lawful heirs male and assigns whatsoever. The
said
James Erskine, Earl of Buchan, was one of the lords
of the bedchamber to Charles I., and resided niucJi in
England. His first countess d. in 162S, leaving, with two
daus., an only sou, James. The earl m. 2ndly, Elizabeth,
dau. of Sir Philip Knevet, of Buckenham, in Norfolk. He
d. in 1640, and was s. by his only son,
James, 2nd Earl of Buchan (of the Erskines), who m.
Lady Marjory Rarnsay, eldest dau. of Wilham, 1st Earl of
Dalhousie, and dying in 1664, was s. by his only son,
William, 3rd eaii. He executed, Sth April, 1677, a pro-
curatory, for resigning his honours, &c., on failure of his
own heirs male, to his cousin, Henry Erskine, 3rd Lord
C;irdross,* but this procuratory failing by his death, and
never used, need not be considered. At the revolution the
carl adhered to James, and took up arms in his cause, for
which ho was committed prisoner to the castle of Stirling,
where he d. unm. in 1695, without being brought to trial.
On his death a discussion arose in the Scottish parliament,
in a question of precedence, between, the Earl of Glencairn
and Lord Cai'dross, who there appeared as Earl of Buchan,
producing a charter, not in the year 1617, but in the year
1625, being a territorial charter, when the parliament
allowed Lord Cardross to be called in the rolls of parliament
as Earl of Buchan, reserving to the Earl of Glencairn and
others to quarrel his title and precedence as accords. Sir
Colin Mackenzie, of Kilcoy, Baronet, the lineal heii and
descendant of Sir Simon Eraser, of Inverallochy, the eldest
■son of Lady Marjory Erskine, dau. of James, 7th Earl of
Buchan, lately laid claim to the honour and dignity of the
Earldom of Buchan and Barony of Auchterhouse, on the
gi'ound of his being the nearest heir to the ancient feudal
James Erskine, 7th Earl of Marr, K.G., high-treasurer of
Scotland, obtained from James VL, 27 March, 1604, the muni-
ficent grant of all the lands, baronies, &c., which belonged
to the jiriory of Inchmahomo, and the abbeys of Dryburgh
and Cambuskenneth, all erected and incorporated into a free
lordship and barony, to be called the Lordship of Cardross;
which was confirmed by act of parliament, passed 19 July,
1606, conferring upon the earl the honour and precedency of
a Lord of Parliament, as Baron Cardross. And, by a
subsequent charter, 10 June, 1610, his lordship acquired the
right of assigning the said barony to whomsoever he thought
proper. The earl?/i. 1st, Anne, 2nd dau. of David, 2nd Lord
Drummond, .and had an only son, James, who inherited the
Earldom of Marr. He m. '2ndly, Lady Mary Stewai'c, 2ud
dau. of Esme, Duke of Lennox, and had, with othei issue.
James, who ra. Mary Douglas, Countess of Buchan, as in
the text, and became Earl of Buchan.
Henry, who m. Margaret, only dau. of Sir James Bal-
leuden ; and dying before his father, left a son, David, of
whom presently, as 2nd Lord Cardross.
Charles (Sir), of Alva, whose sons.
Sir Charles Erskine, of Alva, and
James Erskine, and their issue, are in remainder to the
Earldom of Buchan.
The Earl of Marr, exercising the power with which he was
invested, made an assignment to his 2nd son, the above-
mentioned Henry Erskine, dated 30 Jan. 1617-18, which
was ratified by charter, 13 March, in the same year, of the
Barony of Cardross ; but that gentleman dying before the
earl, the said barony, at his lordship's decease, in 1G34,
devolved upon his grandson,
David Erskine, 2nd Lord Cardross. This nobleman m.

Craighall.bywhomhehad ason, Henry, his.suceesEor: and

His lordship in. 2ndly, Mary, youngest dau. of Sir George

whom, the Hon. Col. John, descends David Erskine, Esq.
of Cardross, as well as John Erskine, Esq. of Venlaw, co.
Peebles. He d. in 1671, and was s. by his son,

e.ar'dom, and that he could not be excluded from such, his
right by blood, by any recognition of the Scottish par-
liament of a title in Lord Cardross evidently inept. But on
a strict examination of the records in Scotland, it appeared
that Lady Mr,rjory Eraser, who had been designated by all
the peerage writers of the day to have been the eldest dau.
of her father, was truly the second dau. ; the eldest dau.
being Lady Margaret, who became the 2nd wife of Mr.
Douglas, of Brigtou, in the county of Forfar, and therefore.
Sir Colin withdrew his claim.
David Erskine, 4th Lord Cardross, whom the parlianient
of Scotland allowed to be called in the rolls of parliament as
(4tli) Earl of Buchan, was constituted lord-lieutenant of
the COS. Stirling and Clackmannan, upon the accession of
Georoe I., and he was chosen one of the representative
peers in 1715, 1722, and 1727. He m. 1st, 1697, Frances,

O.S., who was called to the Scottish bar in 1768. and soon
attained that first-rate practice so justly tlic meed of his
transcendent talents. He was appointed king's advocate
in 1783, but resigned the office in the same year, on the
change of administration. He was elected dean of the
faculty of advocates in 1786, and appointed by the Whigs,
in 1806, king's advocate, an office which he again relin-
quished on the retirement of his party from power. Mr.
Erskine was distinguished by the amiabilitj- of his private
character, the profundity of his legal knowledge, and the
brilliancy of his wit. He ?n. 1st, 30 March, 1772, Christian,

tained a full choir, and had divine service performed with
the best music (Handel was his chapel master), in a chapel
of exceeding beauty, which is the only portion of the original
building that remains. But on his decease this magnificent
mansion was disposed of piecemeal. The stone obelisks,
with copper lamps which formed the approach from the
Edgoware-road, were purchased for the Earl of Tylney, for
his new building at Wanstead, in Essex, which has since
experienced the fate of Cannons : the marble staircase was
bought by the Earl of Chesterfield for his residence (now
the town house of the Duko of Abercorn) in May Fair
The ground and sitebecame the property of anopulenttrades-
man, who built thereon a neat habitation which passed into
the possession of the well known Colonel O'Kelly of sporting
celebrity, and subsequently to Lady Plumer. The place is
now called Cannons Park. Two fine stone houses, still
standing (with a gap between them) in Cavendish Square,
were erected as lodge gates to a roadintended by the princely
Duke to lead from that spot to the Cannons.

was s. by his son, Robert, 4tli Lord of Kinloss, and 2nd Earl of
Elgin, who was created Earl of Ailesbury iu England, in 1665.
His grandson, Charles, 6th Lord of Kinloss, 4th Earl of Elgin,
and 3rd Earl of Ailesbury, by his first wife, Lady Anne-Saville,
dau. and co-heir of WiHiam, Marquess of BaUfax, had issue,
two sons, who d. s. p., and two daus. and co-heirs, of whom
the elder, Lady Mary Bruce, was m., as above stated, to Henry
Brydges, 2nd Duke of Chandos. Their son, James, 3rd Duke
of Chandos, was de jure, 7th Lord of Kinlcss, as heir of his
grandfather; and the claim to that lordship passed through his
only child, Anne-Eliza, Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos,
to her grandson, the present Duke of Buckingham.

Conquest, was fatter of
William Burdett, who became Lord of Louseby, co.

tou, CO. Warwick, Uniii. Henry II. His lineal descendant,
Sir Robert Burdett, Knt. vi. Elizabeth, dau. and
heiress of Sir Gerard de Camvillc, with whom he obtained
the manor of Arrow, in Warwickshire, where he settled.
This gentleman represented the co. of Warwick in parlia-

wards was one of the commissioners for the gaol delivery
at Warwick. He subsequently represented Leicestershire,
and afterwards the co. Warwick again. He d. in 1333, and

Sir NicuoLAS Burdett, Knt., who fell at the battle of
Poutoise, in 1440, This gentleman was chief butler of
Normandy, and governor of Eureux : by liis wife, Joan,
cousin and heiress of Henry Bruin, he obtained the manor
of Bramcote, in Warwickshire, and left a son and heir,
Thomas Burdett, Esq. of Arrow, a person of great note
and figure in the co. Warwick, who fell a victim to his
attachment to the Duke of Clarence, temp. Edward IV.
Having iutemperately wislied the horns of a white buck,
which he had heard that the king had killed in his park of
Arrow, in the belly of the monarch's adviser, the opportu-
nity was seized to arraign, convict, and execute him for
high treason ; and for uttering these ungu.arded words he
was beheaded in 1477. After his death, a great contest
for liis manor of Arrow and other estates arose between
Richard Burdett, his son, by Agnes, dau. of John Waldeif,
a former wife, that had been, from nearness of kindred,
divorced fi-om him in 1444 ; and John Burdett, his sou, by
Margaret, dau. of John Rodney. The matter finally termi-
nated by certain of the estates, including Arrow, passing to

WORTH, of Burthwaite, co. York,

From an ancient pedigree, it would appear that this
family is descended from Hugo de Burdett, lord of the
Manor of Lousoby, in LeicestersUre, a noble Norman, who
came into England with W^illiam the Conqueror, but at
this distance of time, the connecting link cannot be dis-
tinctly traced. The Heralds' College deduces its origin
from Almericus de Burdett, who held lands at Skelman-
thorpe. CO. York, temp. Henry III. His son, Robert, m.
Idonea, dau. and heir of Sir Robert de Baliol,* by Margaret,
dau. and heir of Sir Robert de Denby, who m. Margaret,
dau. and heir of Sir Robert de Holland,! the son of Sir
* This Sir Robert de Baliol is supposed to be of the same
family as the John de Baliol who was a competitor with
Bruce for the crown of Scotland.

The Burnetts, originally of Saxon descent, are of gi-eat
antiquity in the south of Scotland. Robert de Burnai-d is a
witness to the foundation charter of the Abbey of Kelso,
by King David I, anno 1128. At what time the family went
tc the north country, we cannot precisely tell, but certain
it is they were settled in Aberdeenshire near 500 years ago.
According to Sir George McKeuzio, the Burnett.o of Ley-
carry the hunting-horn in base; with a highlander in a
160
hunting garb, and a greyhound for supporters, to show
that they are the King'.s foresters in the north. Alexander
Burnard (as the name was originally written) obtained a
charter, now iu the possession of the family, from Robert
Bruce, of the lands of Kilonach Clerach, and the six-mark
land of the two Cardneys, in the shire of Aberdeen, dated
1324, the 18th year of King Robert's reign. He was s by his
son, Robert Burnard, who got the above lands confirmed
to him by a charter under the great seal, from King David
Bruce, dated at Scone, 17 Nov. 1358. He was s. by his son,
John de Burnard, who held the office of king's macer, for
.vhich he had a salary of 10 merks sterling per annum, a
considerable sum at that period, and proving the high
respectability of that office ; this .appears by a charter for
the salary, granted out of the lands of the two Carnousies
in Banffsliire, to Richard De Cuminc, by King David
Bruce, under the great seal, and dated 25 Dec. 1370. He
loft issue, a sou and successor,
Robert Burnett, who made a considerable figure in the
reign of King James I. His name appears as one of the
inquest upon the service of Alexander Auchterlony, son and
heir of William Auchterlony. iu the year 1409. This Robert
Burnett is the first whom we have found titled as Baron
of Leys, a barony wliioh has continued to be the appellation
of the faniily ever since. He died in the reign of James II.,
leaving a son, Alexander, from whom lineally descended
Alexander Burnett, of Leys, 10th proprietor, who got
three charters under the great seal from King James VI. , of
several lauds and baronies between the years 1596 and 1607.
He TO. a dau. of Alexander Arbvithnott, Laird of Pitcarlies,
brother of Andrew Arbuthnott, Laird of that ilk, by whom
he had six sons : i. Alexander, his heir. ii. Duncan,
M.D., settled at Norwich, iii. Thomas, M.D., settled at
Boston. IV. Gilbert, Professor of Pliilosophy at Mont-
auban, in France, v. Robert, of Garrioch, Li Mar. vi. Name
imknowu. These three first brothers, Duncan, Thomas,
and Gilbert, were all educated at the University of Aber-
deen, and were held in great esteem. The 1st was a Doctor
of Physic, and practised iu Nonvich. The 2nd was of the
same profession, and likewise of great esteem in Braintree,
where he practised physic. The 3rd was a Professor of
Philosophy, first at Basil, then at Montaubau, and was iu
s\ich esteem there that a national synod of the Protestants
in France appointed his philosoplucal writings to be printed
at the expense of the clergy ; but he dying before his MSS.
were put iu order, only his book of Ethics was printed.
He was s. by his son, who got charters under the great seal,
of several lands and baronies, between the years 1608 and
1612.

Eturngc.
The name of this family is of purely Saxon compound. In
Domesday Book, William Borard and hisbrothor are recorded
as holding lands at Clifton, Bucks, under Robert dc Todeni,
afterwards called Albini, Lord of Belvoir(a follower of Wil-
liam the Conqueror, to whom the Conquehor made extensive
gi-ants of land). Simon Borrarde, a grandson of one of the
above brothers, m. Juliana de Bellis, whose son. Sir Simon
de Borard, in right of his wife, Hawisia de Wroxhalle,
po.ssessed the estate of Rustehalle, Wilts, about a.d. 1165.
His son and successor. Sir Scmon de Borard, high sheriff
of the CO. of Bucks and Leicester, held the lordships of
Stratheme, co. Leicester, of Clifton, co. Bucks, and of
Oakley, co. Bedford (which lordships were granted to him
by Henry III, a.d. 1216. These lauds, which had bslonged
to the Albinis, escheated to the crown upon the treason
of William de Albini, the 3rd, about the end of the reign
of King John). He hi. Margareta, dau. of Sir Astelini de
Sydenham, of Tythmer.sh, Northampton (by which marriage
he acquired other landed estates), and had four sons, who
d. s. :?;. before 1300, and one dau. , Joanna (heir to her brothers),
who w. 1275, Thomas Reynes (who obtained thereby the
lordships of Clifton, Strathcru, Oakley, &c., and, in con-
sequence of this marriage, the parish of Clifton, in the hun-
dred of Newport, Bucks, took the name of Clifton-Reyne.s).
For many centuries this family have been landed proprietors
in the south-western parts of Hamp.shire. One of the most
eminent priors of the monastery of Christchurch, Twynham,
Hants, was a member of this family, viz., John Borard, a
man of considerable scholastic learning, elected prior by the
community, in Oct. 1397. His election received the royal
assent, by letters patent, under the great seal, on the 25th
of that month. He d. about 1412, and his remams lie
entombed in that splendid priory church, with the follow-
ing inscription to his memory, " Tumba Johannis Borard,
magistri Theologie, prioris decimi noni hujus Ecclesite."
John BUEEARD, Esq., who d. 1502, and was buried in the
priory church of Christ-church aforesaid (his will is dated
Aug. 5, 1502) ; left issue, two sons, i. Robert, who d. invn.,
1508, and was buried at Lymington ; and ii. John, heu-

Shadwell Court, co. Norfolk; b.
13 March, 1829; s. his father, as
ord baronet, 13 Oct. 1842; m. i
Dec. 1865, Mary- Augusta-Harriet,
only child of the late Lieut.-Col.
J. Johnstone, and grand-dau. of
James Raymond Johnstone, Esq.
of Alva, Stirling-shire, and has a
dau, Maude-Isabel. Sir Robert is
a deputy-lieut. for the co. Norfolk.
Bertram de Buxton is the first of the family we find
upon record : he was lord of Buxton, Burgh, and Kineshall
at the Conquest ; he was s. by his son, Jefifery, and the pro-
perty continued, for several generations, in the family.
Another Buxton was seneschal of Bourdoaux, in Gascony,
temp. Richard II., as appears from an old achievement of
arms taken from the monastery of Bungay, co. Suflolk ;
having been there hung up for one styled Le Seneschal de
Baxtun. This achievement was delivered to the family in
the reign of Henry VIII.
The next on record is
Robert Buxton, who possessed the lordships of Brome
and Ockley, co. Suffolk ; he d. in 1406, leaving co-heiresses,
one of whom, Philippa, m. John Cornwalhs, at whose de-
cease Brome went to the ConiwaUis family ; but its having
been the property of the Buxtons is clearly evinced by
their arms in a window in the hall. The authenticated
ancestor of the family was
John Buxton, of Tibenham, co. Norfolk, whose son,
John Buxton, gave to the chm-ch of Tibenham, in 1478,
the 4th bell, and, in 1497, a vest and cope of purple velvet.
From him descended
Robert Buxton, whose son,
John Buxton, Esq. of Tibenham and Dickleborough, co.
Norfolk, m. Margaret, dau. of Warner, of Wynfarding, and
was father of
Robert Buxton, who was, in 1558, member for Bramber,
CO. Sussex, and 1563 for Horsham, in the same co. He was
counsellor, by patent, to the Duke of Norfolk, and, on sus-
picion of being concerned in that nobleman's conspiracies,
was summoned before the Privy Council, by a warrant
signed Pembroke, Leicester, Cecil. He was, in consequence,
committed to the Fleet prison, where be remained two
years, until liberated by petition. In compensation for this
imprisonment. Queen Elizabeth gi-anted him a lease of the
dissolved college of Rubhiord, with the adjacent lands, on
which estate the present family seat, ShadweU Court, is
situated. He to. Joan, dau. and co-heiress of Robert Heron,
of Tibenham, a descendant from the ancient family of
Heron, of Chipchase, co. Northumberland. His son,
John Buxton, Esq. of Tibenham, m. Elizabeth, dau. of
Robert Kemp, of Gissing, co. Norfolk, a lineal descendant
from Norman Kemp, living in 1306, and was father of
Robert Buxton, Esq. , who )». Elizabeth, dau. of Edmund
d'Oyley, a descendant from King Edward III., through the
Nevilles, Earls of Westmorland. Their son,
John Buxton, Esq., was member for Norfolk, in the Sth
of Charles I., and also one of the secluded members in that
parliament. He was appointed high sheriff for Norfolk in
1638, as appears from a letter from the Pri^-y Council, dated
24 May, 1638 ; this letter states, that his majesty's patent,
appointing him high sheriff, is sent down to him, and that
he i."! required, in his majesty's name, to employ his best
diligence for the levying and collecting of the ship money.
As a compensation for the great losses sustained by this

wai's, Charles II. granted to the family a second coat of
arms, viz., sa., two bars, arg. ; on a canton of the second a

vi'ei'e l.iaronets. The family of which we are now treating
was settled at Carcswell Priory, co. Devon, about the
middle of Elizabeth's reign, but the estate was lost by
Richard Pratt, during the civil wars, who was com-

had involved him, to dispose of his jiatenial inheritance.

Campbell, Sir Loris-HEXRY-DuGALD, Bart, of
Auchenbreck, au officer K.N., b. 2 March, 1844; s.
his father 9 Dec. 1853.
According to Sii- Robert Douglas, this family descends
from Sii- Duncan CampbeU, Lord of Loclaow, progenitor of
the Dukes of Argyll.
A Baroiittcy of Nova Scotia was conferred, 21 March, 1628,
on Sir Di-qald Campbell, Knt. of Auchenbreck, with

heir, and v.-as de jun: ^iR Dugald Campbell, Bart. This
Dugald, however, who %vas deputy-keeper of the privy
seal of Ireland, and private secretary to Lord Colchester
when lord-lieut. , did not assume the title ; in his lifetime,
therefore, no active steps were taken ; but when the b;u-o-
netcy was assumed by a person calling himself Sir Thomas
Campbell of Auchinbreck, ai lout the year 1841, Dugald's son,
Capt. John-Egton Campbell, then of Kildalloig, caused
legal proceedings to be taken and proofs made out, showing
himself to be heir male general of the Auchinbreck family,
and he accordingly, as such, took up the title, and was

Sir John Campbell, of Lawers, co. Perth, grandson of John
Campbell, of Lawers, younger son of Sir Colin Campbell, first of
Glenaicliy, m. his cousin Beatrix, dau. of Sir Colin Campbell, of
Glenarchy, and has ihree sons,
I. Sir James Campbell, of Lawers, father of John, Earl of
Loudoun, Lord High Chancellcr of Scotland; he is repre-
sented as heir general by the Marquess of Hastings, Earl
of Loudoun, and as heir male by t-ir James Campbell,
of Aberuchill, Bart.
II. Colin Campbell, of Aberuchill.
III. Archibald Campbell, Prior of Strathfillan.
In 1594, Sir John acquired Aberuchill, and other lands, from
the family of Murray, of Abercairny, and the following year
resigned them in favour of his second son,
Colin Campbell, of Aberuchill, who had a crown charter of
confirmation in that estate, 12 July, 1590, and acquired
Craiginch, Leonards, and other lands. In 1612, Archibald,
Earl of Argyll, justice general of Scotland, granted a com-
mission to " my lovit Colin Campbell, of Aberuchill," to appre-
hend or pursue to the death all persons of " that most vm-
happie and barbarous raice of the name of M'Gregor," His
Majesty's rebels. An Act of parliament, 1617, against the
clan Gregor, mentions depredations committed by them on
the estate of Aberuchill. Colin Campbell had issue by his
wife, who appears to have been a daughter of the family of
Colville,
I. James.
II. John of Foordie, a member of the committee of war,
1647, d. in or before 168.3, leavina: issue, Mary, //(. Henry
Stewart, advocate, 4th s m of Sir Wilham Stewart, of Grand-
tally; from this marriage descends the present Sir W. D.
Stewart, Bart.
He was .«. in 1618 by his eldest son,
James Campbell, of Aberuchill, a firm adherent of the royal
cause. He IB. Ann, dau. of Patrick Hepburn, of Woolling, and
Janet Napier, his wife, and dying in November, 1640, was s. by
his son,
I. Colin Campbell, of Aberuchill, then a minor, who
became a lawyer and politician of note, and held the various
high appointments of sheriff depute of Argyllshire 1668;
senator of the college of justice under the title of Lord Aberu-
chill 1689; lord of justiciary and privy councillor 1090. He
represented the co. of Perth in parliament from 1690 to 1702.
In 1669 Sir Colin acquired the barony of Kilbryde, with its fine
old castle, the seat of the earls of Monteith, still the property
of his representative. A crown charter a few months later
erected all his lands into one free barony, holding direct of
the king, to be called Aberuchill, and made Inneruchill into a
burgh of barony. Lord Aberuchill suffered losses amounting
to £17,201 Scots from the Highland army, under Lord Dimdee,
and had an Act of parliament granting him compensation,
which he appears never to have received. The precise date
at which the baionetcy was conferred cannot now be ascer-
tained, as the patent is lost, and was, like many others, in
favour of gentlemen on whom the baronetcy of Nova Scotia
was conferred about this period, never registered : it appears,
however, to have been between 23 Jan. 1667, and 16 May, 1668,
and the baronets arms appear no less than four times from
1672 to 1703 in the Lyon Eegister, in each instance with the
title and the Nova Scotia badge. Sir Colin m. 1st, Mar-

Eiiicagp.
The family of Duncan of Lundie, illustrious in our naval
history, is of remote antiquity ; it was originally designated
of Seaside, and there is an authenticated heraldic tradition
which accounts for the crest, a dismantled ship, now borne
over the ai-ms of Camperdown. A member of the family,
who lived some two huncb-ed years ago, having been super-
cargo on board a vessel bound from Norway to his native
place, Dundee, was overtaken by a tremendous storm, in
which the ship became almost a complete wreck, and the
crew were reduced to the utmost distress. Contrary, how-
ever, to all expectations, they were enabled to navigate
their crazy, crippled bark into port, and the parents of the
thus fortunately rescued son immediately adopted the crest
alluded to, in commemoration of the dangers their heir had
so providentially escaped from.

The younger son,
Adam Duncan, b. at Drmdee, 1 July, 1731, entered the
naval service about the year 1746, under Robert Haldane,
then captain of the " Shoreham " frigate ; three years after-
wards he was a midshipman on board the •'Centurion," of
50 guns, a ship equipped to receive the broad pendant of
Commodore Keppel, commander-in-chief on the Mediter-
ranean station. In 1755, Mr. Duncan obtained his lieu-
tenancy, and was appointed to the "Norwich," a fom-th-
rate, commanded by Capt. Bairington. On 21 Sept. 1759,
he was made commander, and in the year 1761 post-captam,
and appointed to the "Valiant," of 74 guns, in which ship,
under Admiral Keppel, he acquired considerable reputation
at the capture of the Havaimah. Captain Dimcan distin-
guished himself m the famous eucoimter with Don Juan de
Langara, off Cape St. Vincent, on the 16 Jan. 1780, and
after some further efficient service, he was, 14 Sept. 1787,
promoted to be rear-admiral of the Blue, and, passing
through the intermediate grades, was appointed, 14 Feb.
1799, admiral of the White. In 1795, he was appointed
commander-m-chief in the Seas, and hoisted his flag on
board the " Prince George," of 98 guns, but afterwards
removed to the " Venerable," of 74. In this command ho
had the honour of achieving a splendid victory off Camper-
down, 11 Oct. 1797, over the Dutch fleet (then subject to
the French government) under the brave Admiral de Win-

This family removed from the co. Lincoln inta Ireland
about the middle of the 17th century. The name is local,
being derived from the township of Cawarden, Carwarden,
or Cardun, which lies about eleven miles S.S.E. from
Chester, which manor was the original inheritance of the
family ; but the elder Ijranch terminating in co-heiresses,
the manor of Ovor-Carden was carried hy marriage into the
family of Felton. A branch had been settled in Kent, where
it appears it was for several generations possessed of the
manor of Hodiford ; but that estate was alienated temp.

The Carews are one of the few families now remaining
which can trace their descent, withoiit intemiption, from
the Anglo-Saxon period of English historj'.
Otho, a powerful English baron, in the time of Edward
THE Confessor, was s. by his son,
Walter Fitz-Otho, castellan of Windsor, who h.ad two
sons ; from William, the younger, the Lords Windsor de-
scended ; from the elder,
Gerald, sprung the Carews and Fitzgcralds : he was cas-
tellan of Pembroke Castle, and in great favour with Henry
I., from whom he received the lordship of Mulsford, in
Berks. By Nesta, his wife, dau. of Rhys ap Tudor Mawr,
King of South Wales, whose dower was the castle of Carew,
he had three sons, Maurice, William, and David ; from
Maurice, the eldest, descended the Fitzoeralds, Dukes of
Leinster, and Osborne Fitzoeeald, Lord of Ynys-y-M.aen-
gwyn. The second son,
William, of the Castle Ken-in, co. Carmarthen, d. m 1173,
leavmg, with two other sons (Raymond, ancestor of the
Marquesses of Lansdowne, and William, ancestor of the
Gerards).
Otho, from whom the 5th in lineal descent was
Sir Nicholas Carew, Baron of Carew and Mulsford, a

Philippa, dau. and co.-heh of Sir William Arcedecan, and
had five sons and three davis. Sir Thomas, the eldest son,
happening to disoblige his mother, that lady settled seven-
teen manors upon her younger sons, which proved the
foundation of thi-ee great families, which have flom-ished
ever since, namely, that before us, the Carews of Stodeleigk
and the Carews of Anthony. {See Burke's Landed Gentry.)
Sir Nicholas Carew, the 2nd son, succeeded at Hac-

wards advanced to the lord-presidency of the Court of
Session, which office he enjoyed during the remainder of
his life. In Feb. 1628, his lordship was created a Burontt

Utitfagr.
The paternal surname of this family, Carmichael, is one
of great antiquity in Scotland, and was adopted originally
from the Barony of Carmichael, in Lanarkshire.
Sir John Carmichael, who commanded the auxiliaries
at the battle of Bauge, in Anjou, A. D. 1422, attamed the
highest martial renown by dismovmting the Duke of
Clarence, the English general, which exploit decided the
fate of the day in favour of the united French and Scottish
armies. In memory of this achievement, Sir .John having
broken his spear in the encounter with the duke, obtained
the addition to his family arms of a hand holding a broken
spear, which continues the ci-est of his dessendants. Sir
John Carmichael had two sons,
William, from whom the (extinct) Earls of Ilyndford sprang.
John, progenitor of the Carinichaels of Balmedy, who were
heritable baillies of the regality of Abernethy until the

of his maternal grandfather, the additional surname and
arms of Smyth. Dr. Carinichael-Smyth, who was a fellow
of the Royal College of Physicians, London, and physician-
ex traordmary to George III., received the thanks of the
House of Commons twice for bis public services. He ra. in

This family was originally of Clydesdale, whence it re-
moved into Dumfriesshire, and there settled. Tradition
details the orighi of its surname and arms thus : —
in the reign of Kenneth II., a kinsmaia and favourite of
that mor.arch having been hung by the Picts, it so ex-
ceedingly grieved the king, that he offered a considerable
]92
reward to any person who would rescue the corpse ; but
none were disposed to undertake so dangerous a duty, until
a gentleman cried out Dal-zel (Scotch, / dare), and perfoi-m-
ing his task to Kenneth's entire satisfaction, himself and
his family bore ever aftei-wards the name of Dalzel.
In the Reiiiarks on the Ragman Roll, it is said that the
surname of D.\lzell is ancient and local, deiived from the
Barony of Dalzell, in the county of Lanark, which estate
it is supi^osed the family lost by forfeiture, as it was given
by King David II. to Sir Jlalcolm Fleming, 20 Juno, 1343.
Thomas de Dalzell was one of the great barons who
swore fealty to King Edward I. in 1296, and one of the
worthy patriots that joined Robert Bruce.
Sir Robert de Dalzell, Knt., obtained from King
David II. grants of the serjeantship of Lanark, on the
resignation of Andrew Starheved, and of the lands of
Croykstoime, co. Peebles. He had from the same monarch
a charter, " dilccto ct fideli nostro Roberto de Dalzell
militi, pro homagio et sui-vicio suo, omnes terras nostras
de SelkjTk, cum pertinenoiis, exceptis annuls redditibus
no.stris et iirmis nostris de burgo nostro de Selkyrk," to
him and the legitimate heirs male of his body, 15 Maj', 1365.
He was one of the Scottish barous who were surety to Haco,
King of Norway, that Henry Sinclair, Eaii of Orkney, should
faithfully govern the islands of Orkney. In 1380, he was
sent over to Noi-way by the said earl, and d. the same year,
immediately after his retimi.
Sir William de Dalzell, a gallant knight, obtained from
King D.AviD II., 13 Aug. 1364, a grant of the fee of five
poimds sterling per annum as Serjeant of Lanaik, either
out of Sheriff Court or the Justice-air held there. In 13SS,
Sir William de Dalzell lost an eye at the battle of Ottei-buni,
and, in 1300, accompanied Sir David Lindsay, of Glencsk
(afterwards Earl of Crawford) to the famous tournament
at London. He recovex'ed the estate of his ancestors, as
" William de Dalzell, dominus ejusdem," and is witness to a
charter of Johanna de Keith, Lady of Gallystoun, to her son,
jVndrew de Hamyltoun, 11 Dec. 1400. His elder son,
GEORCiE DE Dalzell, obtained, on the resignation of James
Sandilauds, brother-in-law of King Robert III., a charter of
the barony of Dalzell, in the comity of Lanark, to him and
the heirs male of his body, which failing, to the heirs male
of his father Sir William de Dalzell, 5 July, 1395. He d. $.p.
before 1400, and was s. by his 1>rother,
Sir John de Dalzell, who had a letter of safe-conduct to
pass into England, wdth four other knights, and sixty horse
in thcu- train, to treat about national business, 24 Julj-, 1392.
He had a charter of the lands of Kinmouth, Bouohtains, and
half of CUme, in the county of Baulf, from King Robert III.,
on the resignation of Alexander Keith. The same monarch
granted to him St. Leonard's Hospital, near Lanark, with
the whole lands and revenues thereto belonging, upjon con-
diti(.m that he and his heu-s should provide a qualified person
to celebrate three masses once in every seven years, for the
salvation of the souls of his Majesty, Annabella his queen,
and all their childi-en for ever. The chai-ter is dated 3 June,
1400, with remainder to Walter, Adam, and Robert de
Dalzell, his sons, and the heirs male of their bodies respec-
tively ; and is confirmed b3- King James II., 19 Feb. 1449-50,
by which time Sir John Dalzell was dead, he being designed
"quondam" in the confirmation.
Walter de Dalzell, the eldest son, was designed " of
Carloui-ie. "
Adam de Dalzell, the 2nd son, is designed " of Eliots-
toim," in a charter of 1426.
Robert de Dalzell is designed "of Dalzell," in a charter
to Walter Graham, of Walay.stoun, 31 Dec. 1450.
Peter de Dalzell made a resignation of St. Leonard's
Hospital, near Lanark, in favour of John Stewart, of Craigie,
who obtained a charter thereof 21 April, 1465.
William de Dalzell, son and heir of "umquhile" Robert
de Dalzell, of that ilk, occurs in civil suits in the records of
parliament, 14 Oct. 1495.

apprismg of the lands of Dompillholm, 18 Jan. 1504-5, was

i pected of infidelity, nor yet one from whom his majesty
would have taken counsel in such a case), laid his hand
suddenly on the bridle of the king's horse, and swearmg

, understood what he would have, turned his horse round,

Robert Btu.4.et, 3rd son of King Robert XL, acquired
the Earldom of Montcith by his marriage with Margaret,
Countess of Menteitb ; and aftei-wards succeeding to the
Earldom of Fife, became Earl of Fife and Menteitb. This
nobleman, subsequently Regent of Scotland, was one of tho
CAS
CAT
first persons honoured with a Dukedom in the Scottish
peerage. In 1393, the heir-apparent to the throne having
been created Duke of Rothsay, the Regent Fife was at the
same time raised to the Dukedom of Albany. His grace,
who fills a conspicuous place in Scottish history, d. in 1419
and was s. by the only son of his first man-iage,
MuRDAC, lind Duke of Albany, who m. Isabel, eldest dau.
and co-heir of Duncan, Earl of Lennox. Previously to the
decease of his father, this nobleman was a captive for thir-
teen years in England, having been made prisoner at the
battle of Homildon, in 1402. He s. the late Duke in the
regency, as well as the dukedom, but with talents for such
a station of a very infe\-ior order. Within a few short years
he was brought to the block, with his two elder siu-viving
sons, and his father-in-law the Duke of Lennox (anno l-i'JO),
when the Dukedom of Albany reverted to the crown. His
grace's next son,
SiE James Stuart, called James the Gross, upon being-
apprised of the imprisonment of his father by James I., flew
to arms, and, with the aid of the Bishop of Argyll, raising
a band of Highland freebooters, assaulted and burnt the
town of Dunliarton, and put Sir James Stuart, of Dun-
donald, natural son of Robert II. , governor of the castle,
to the sword, 3 May, 1424. For these acts of violence he
was proclaimed a felon, and forced to seek an asylum in
Ireland, whence he never afterwards returned, but (.1. there
in 1451. His eldest son,
Andrew Stuart, was brought over from Ireland by
James II., and created, in 1459, Lord Avandale; he was
afterwards chancellor of Scotland, and dying s. p. in 14SS,
was s. by his nephew,
Alexander Stuart, father of
Andrew Stuart, Lord Avandale, who was s. by his son,
Andrew, 3rd Lord Avandale; who having exchanged his
barony with Sn- James Hamilton, tor that of Ocuiltrie,
was ordauied to be caUed Lord Stuart of Ochiltrie, in
time to come, by Act of Parliament, 15 March, 1542-3. His
lordship was s. at his decease by his son,
Andrew, 2nd Lord Stxiart of Ochiltrie, commonly called
The good Lord Ochiltrie. This nobleman was s. at his
decease, in 1592, by his grandson,
Andrew Stuart, 3rd Lord Ochiltrie, a lord of the bed-
chamber to James I. of England, who having sold, through
pecimiary embarrassment, the barony of Ochiltrie to his
cousin. Sir James Stewart of Killeith, and reUnquished his
title to that gentleman, was create'd, 7 Nov. 1619, Lord
Stewart, Baron of CaMe-Stewart, co. Tyrone, in the peerage of
Ireland. His lordship m. Margaret, dau. of Sir John Ken-
nedy, of Blau-quhan, and dying in 1652, left three sons,
I. Andrew, his successor, who was invested in the lifetime of
his father, under patent of James I., with divers lands in the

Stewart, Forward, and Carrigan. .

where he remained during the troubles in Ireland, and

created a Baronet of Nova Scotia. His lordshiij 'la. Lady
Anne Stcuart, 4th dau. and co-heir of John, 5th Earl of
Athol, and dying in 1 639, was s. by his eldest son,

heiress of Sir Arthur Blundell, of BlundcUstown, Kmg's Co.,

in 1662, the title reverted to his uncle,
John, 5th baron. After the decease of this nobleman, a
bachelor, ui 1678, the honours remained dormant until the

The antiquity of tlus family in Scotland i-s attested by
the fact that
Reinaldus de Ketiicart appears a subscribing witness
to a grant by Alan, tlie son of Walter Dapifer Regis, of tlie
patronage of the church of Kethcart to the monastery of
Paisley, iu the year 1178. From this Reinaldus lineally
descended
SIR Alan- Cathcaet, Knt, whose valour at the battle of
Loudoun llill, in 1307, is thus recorded : —
"A knight that then was in his rout,
Worthy and witht, stalward and stout.
Courteous and fair, and of good fame.
Sir Alan Cathcart was his name."
Lord Hailes observes, in reference to these lines, that it is
pleasant to trace a family likeness in an ancient picture.
Sir Alan m. a sister of Sir Duncan Wallace, of Smidrum,
and was s. by his son,
Alan de Kathkeet, whose great-grandson,
Sir Alan Cathcaet, Knt. was created Baron Cathcart,
by James II. of Scotland, in 1447. His lordship, who was
warden of the West Marches, ra. Janet Maxwell, and was

John, 2nd Lord Cathcart, who in. 1st, Margaret, dau. of
John Kennedy, of Blairquhan, and had an only son, Alan,
master of Cathcart, who fell at Flodden, in 1513, leaving a

had several other childreiL He d. in 1535, and was s. by

Alan, 3rd lord. This nobleman m. Helen, eldest dau.
of William, 2nd Lord Sempill. He fell at the battle of
Pinkie, 10 Sept. 1547, and was s. by Ids only son,
Alan, 4th loi-d ; who d. iu 1618, and was >?. by his grandson,
Alan, 5th lord. This nobleman m. for his second wife,
Jean, dau. of Sir Alexander Colquhouu, of Luss ; and dying

other children, his successor, at his decease, in 1732,

Biron ran a sword through the gallant officer's back, as

Most of the names which have been of note and nobility
in this country, says Camdeu, are derived from localities
situate in Normandy ; as inst uices of which he mentions
D'Arcy, Devereux, Gournay, Cajdcy, D'Aubigny, i&c. The
place, Cailly (Cailleium), from which this family takes its
name, is in tbe arrondissemeut of Rouen, a few miles to
the north-east of that town, and in the " Ballivium Caleti,"
or bailiwick of Caux. Here there was a fortress called
" Castellum Cailleii," which was held by a baronial tenui'e,
as the " Honour [or barony] de Cailly."
By the fiefs it held at that epoch in Normandy, the
family of De Cailli must h.ave been of baronial rank in that
country for some generations before the Conquf.st; and if
Guillaume de C^uUi (stated, in Domesday, to be tenant-in-
chief of certain manors in Berkshire) be, as has been sup-
posed, William FitzOsberne, cousin of the Conqueror, and
his viceroy in England during his absence in Normandy,
this family would claim, of course, direct and immediate
descent from Rollo. It would seem, at all events, clear
that it was of sufficient importance, while it established one
or two influential branches in Eugland at the time of tbe
Conquest, at the same time to presei-ve for itself, as will
appear, an equally influential position in Normandy subse-
quent to the Conquest.
Guillaume de Cailli, above mentioned, appears to have
died without issue, audit is from Humphrey de Cailli, his
brother, that the Cayleys of Norfolk and Yorkshire des-
cend. To Humphrey, according to Domesday, were al-
lotted, at the Conquest, the lands of Massiugham, and the
hundred of Brodercross, &c.
Simon de Cailly, Lord of Massiugham, Cran^vich, Bro-
dercross, Hiburgh, &c., in Norfolk, son of Humphrey de
Cailly, m. Alice, and had two sons,
Roger.
Jordanus (Sir), who held a knight's fee in Norfolk under
Hugh Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, and another fee in War-
wickshire, under Robert Marniion.
The eldest son,
Roger de Cailly, temp. Henry II., was one of the most
wealthy and influential bai-ons of the time. His name ap-
pears, temp. Henry II., as a witness to a deed, along with
the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Constable de Humez,
and other distinguished nobles of the same date. His son,
John de Cailly, as appears by a ti-ial, was Lord of Cran-
wich, temp. Richard I. He was also lord of Massiugham,
Bradeuham, Oxburgh, Denver, Hillington, Hecham, Hilde-
burgh, (&c. His dau. Beatrix, TO. William deButery. His son,
John de Cailly, was lord of these manors, 4 Jodn (1202).
He m. Margery, who, after his death, m. Michael de Poy-
nings. His son was,
Adam de Cailly. In 17 John there is a mandate to
Hervey Belet, " that he do not receive into the king's peace,
Hugh de Plaiz, Michael de Poj-niugs, William de Stuteville,
William de Mortimer, Adam de Cayly, and Robert do Cere,
until the king otherwise commands. Witness the king at
Stamford, 28 Feb." Adam de Cailly paid £5 to plead before
the king, in the case of waste in Bradeuham forest, during
the dower of Margerie, his mother, who was married to
Michael de Poynings, she being to have only reasonable
estovers of house-bote, hedge-bote, and wood to burn, by
view of the forester of Adam de Kayly. By Mabel, his wife,
he had, besides other sons,
I. Osbert (Sir), who m. Emma*, eldest dau. and co-heiress
of Robert, Lord Tatshall, of Bokenham, and had by her,
Buckenham Castle and its large estates. He had (with a
dau., Margerie, wife of Roger de Chfton and mother of
£iord Clifton of Buckenham), Iste Burke's Dni-niinit and
Extinct Ptei-iuK) two sons, Sir Adam and Sir Thomas;
* Many of the authorities differ as to whether Adam or
Osbert de Cailly married the heiress of the Albinis ; and on
this point would depend the claim of the present family on
the barony of Buckenham.
205
the latter was summoned to parliament in 1300, as Baron
de Cailli of Buckenham, and i'. s. p. (.See Burke's Doi-
■iitnat a„a Ejiiiict I'uraije.)
11. Hugo (Sir), of whose line we treat.
The 2nd son.
Sir Hugo de Cayly, Knt. of Owby, m. Agnes, dau. and
heir of Hamo do Hempstede. In the 53rd Henry III., he,
with Agnes, his wife, conveyed to Alan, prior (>f Walsing-
ham, 2J acres of meadow ; and in 14 Edward I. (12S5), the
year after his death, Agnes was found to have view of
frankpledge and assize of bi-ead and beerhere [Walsingham]
and in Geistweyk. Sir Hugh de Cayly held, in tbe reign
of Henry III., a quarter of a fee in the honour of Rich-
mond, Yorkshire; and in the 14th Edward I. (1284), a fine
was levied between John, son of Hugh de Cayly, querent,
William de Ormesby, and his wife Agnes, tenants of land in
Suffield Gunton, Antringham.and Falmingham,co. Norfolk,
granted to John de Cayly, for tbe life of tlie said Agnes,
late wife of Sir Hugh de Cayly. Sir Hugh's son,
John Cayly, Esq. of Owby, was s. by bis son.
Sir William Cayley, Knt. of Owbj-. In the 10th

CHARLEMONT.
Charlemont, Earlo-p (Sir James-Molyneux Caul-
feild, K.P.), Viscount Caulfeild and Baron Caulfeild.
of Charlemont, in the peerage of Ireland ; and Baron
Charlemont, of Charlemont, in the co. of Armagh,
in that of the United Kingdom ; lord-lieut. of the
CO. of Tyrone, and lieut.-col. of the Armagh militia;
b. 6 Oct. 1820; s. his uncle as .3rd earl, 26 Dec.
1863 ; m. 18 Dec. 1856, Elizabeth-Jane, eldest dau. of
Lord Athlumney.
This noble family springs from ancestors of great anti-
quity and worth in the co. of Oxford. Their descendant, in
the rei^n o" Elizaeeth,
Sir Toby Caulfeild, a distinguished and gallant soldier,
was employed by her maje.sty in Ii-eland, against the for-
midable O'Neile, Earl of Tyrone. In 1615, Sir Toby was
appointed one of the coimeil for the province of Munster;
and, the next year, joined in commission with the Lord
Deputy St. John and others, fo" parcelling out the escheated
lands jn Ulster, to such British undertakers as were named
207
in the several tables of assignation . In these empl oyments,
the King (James I.) found him so faithful, diligent, and
prudent, that his majesty deemed him highly deserving the
peerage of Ireland, and accordingly (by patent, which
stated that he was "geuerosa et per antiqua stirpe oriun-
dus") created him, 22 Dec. 1620, lord CaulfdUl, Baron
Charltniont, with limitation of the honour to his nephew.
Sir William Caulfeild, Kut., sun of George C'aulfeilil, Esq.,
3I.P., recorder of Oxford, by Martha his wife, dau. of liichard
Taverncr, of Wood Eaton. His lordship d. a bachelor, 17
Aug. 1627, and was s. by the said
Sir William Caulfeild, as 2nd baron. This nobleman
took his seat in parhament, 4 Nov. 1034, after the lord
chancellor had moved to know the pleasure of the House,
whctlier he should be admitted to this place, having
brought neither writ of summons nor patent ; whereupon
it was resolved that his lordship should be admitted, inas-
much as they were all satisfied that he was a lord of parlia-
ment. His lordship m. Mary, dau. of Sir John King, Kut.
(ancestor of the Earls of Kingston), by whom he had seven
sons and throe daus. Lord Charlemont was a. at his
decease, in 1640, by his eldest son,
Toby, 3rd baron, who also s, the late lord as gover-
nor of the fort of Charlemont, and there resided, with his
company of foot, in garrison. This frt was a place of
considerable strength and imporiance during the rebellion
of 1641 ; but his lordship suffered himself to be surprised,
22 Oct. in that year ; and being made prisoner, with his
whole family, was subsequently put to death by the orders,
it is said, of Sir Phehm O'Neile. This unfortunate noble-
man dying umii., was s. by his brother,
Robert, 4th baron ; who d. a few months afterwards,
from the effects of an over-dose of opium, when the barony
devolved upon his brother,
William, 5th baron. This nobleman apprehended Sir
Phelim O'Neile, and had him executed for the murder of
his brother. His lordship having filled, after the Restora-
tion, several high and confidential situations, was advanced
to a viscounty, as Viscount Caulfeild of Charlemont, S Oct.
1665. He M. Sarah, 2nd dau. of Charles, Viscount Drogheda,

The siuname of Pelham was assumed from a lordship in
Herefordshire, where anciently stood a castle. This lord-
sliip of Pelham is recorded to be a part of the possessions of
Walter de Pelham, in the 21st of Edward I., and it is
believed tliat his ancestors held it prior to the Conquest.
From the earliest period it is certain that the family en-
joyed very high consideration ; and its members have, in
different reigus, distinguished themselves as warriors aud
statesmen.
Sir John de Pelham, a gallant soldier in the martial
reign of Edward III., shared in the gloiy of Poictiers, and
had the honour of participating personally iu the capture
of the French king, John, for which exploit he had as a
badge of honour, the Buckle of a Belt, which was sometimes
used by his descendants as a seal-manual, and at others, ou
each side, a cage, being an emblem of the captivity of the
French monarch, and was therefore borne for a crest, as iu
those times customaiy. Sir John had certain lands and
houses iu Winchelsea, in marriage with Joau, dau. of
Vincent Herbert, alias Finch, and was s. by Ids son.

Mr. Buller d. in 1765. His 3rd son,
I. Francis Buller, Esq., b. 17 March, 17456, a very
eminent lawyer, was educated at a private school in the
West of England, on leaving which he was admitted of the
Inner Temple, in Feb. 1763, and became a pupil of Sir
William Ashurst, at that time a great special pleader, whom
he afterwards excelled. His own practice, on becoming
a special pleader, was very quickly established, and it
increased to a vast amount. After spending some years
in that branch of legal business, Buller was called to
the bar by the Hon. Society of the Middle Temple, in
Easter Term, 1772, and his earnings as a counsel soon
equalled those of almost all his brethren of that day. His
complete devotion to his profession prevented his ever
going into parliament. He was made a king's counsel,
24 Nov. 1777, and three days afterwards second judge of
th ) Chester circuit. His friend. Lord Mansfield, however
who had the highest opinion of his talents, would not be
8atisued till he sat by his side, and Buller was appointed,
1 May, 1778, a judge of the Court of King's Bench. The
indisposition of Lord Mansfield, not long after, compelling
his absence, gave Buller the prominent part in the proceed-
ings of the court, and he conducted the business there with
consummate ability. He was a strict .and stern judge, but
ever acted on the most enlightened views, and on le;Tal
principles correct to a nicety. When Mansfield resigned,
224
every one looked to Buller as his successor, but from some
political reason of the moment, Sir Lloyd Kenyon was
preferred, and became the new chief-justice. Buller dis-
appointed, and his health declining, exchanged the King's
Bench for the Common Pleas, and succeeded Mr. Justice
Gould as a judge of the latter court in 1794, but his health
still continued to decay, and he was about to resign alto-
gether, when he died suddenly at his house in Bedford
Square, 4 June, 1800, leaving behind him a name of lasting
note in the annals of English jurisprudence. His talents
have survived the display and success of his lifetime, for
his judgments and his writings are still continually looked
upon as among the most valuable and unerring expositions
of our common law. His work relative to trials at Nisi
Prius is to this day a standard book. Mr. Justice Buller was
created a Baronet, 13 Jan. 1790. He m. when only 17 years
of age, Susannah, only dau. and heir of Francis Tarda, Esq.
of Churston Ferrers and Ottery St. Mary, co. Devon, and
dying 4 June, 1800, was e. bj- his onl}^ son,
IT. Sir Francis, 6. 28 Sept. 1767, who, in pursuance

Meath, and founded there, according to Sir Richard Cox,
" one of the best and noblest families, which has yielded
many bi'ave and worthy men, that have proved eminently
serviceable to their king and country, whereby the name,
estate, and famUy are presei-ved, in gi'eat honour and repu-
tation, to this day." This William, who was made governor
of Wexford, was entrasted, on the king's return to England,

Lord Clarendon having been ambassador at the court of
Berlin in 1782, was created a Baron of the kingdom of
Prussia by his Prussian Majesty, an honour which his lord-
ship was permitted, under the sign-manual of his own
sovereign, to enjoy. The earl was s. by his eldest son,
Thomas, 2nd earl. b. 26 Dec. 1753 ; at whose decease, unm.
in 1824, the honours devolved upon his next brother.
* This title, fii St enjoyed by Sir Edward Hyde, was derived
from a spacious park near Salisbury, formerly t e site of a
royal palace, but more noted as the place where Henr^ II.
summoned, in 1164, the great council of peers and prelates, from
which emanated the celebrated regulations, so well knovyn m
historv as The Consiitiitions of Clarendon. By those the clergy
were declared amenable to the civil power, and hence arose the
contest between that monarch and Thomas a Bcckct.

his younger brothers and sister, the title and precedency of
an earl's sons ind dau.

land in 1852, with remainder to his brother and
the heirs-male of his body. He was made a peer
of the United Kingdom, as Baron Clermont, of

This noble fimily derives from a common ancestor with
that of the Earls Fortescue.
Sir Faithful Fortescue, son of John Fortescue, Esq.
of Buckland Filleigh, in the co. of Devon, by Susanna, his
second wife, dau. of Sir John Chichester, Knt. of Raleigh,
went over to Ireland in the beginning of the reign of

his uncle, the lord-deputy, Sir Arthur Chichester, by whom
he was knighted, and appomted, 14 Nov. 1606, jointly with
Roger Langford, Esq., governor of Carrickfergus. He ac-
quired also considerable landed possessions, including
jJromisken Castle, lying ten miles from Drogheda, with
broad and fertile lands in the counties of Louth, Down,
and Antrim. During the sulisequent civil conflicts of the
reign of Charles I., Sir Faithful Fortescue rendered essen
tial service to his iU-fated master ; and after the cUsastrous
battle of Worcester, where, with his regiment, he promi-
nently distinguished himself, retired to the continent with
Charles II. After the Restoration he enjoyed in an emi-
nent degree the royal favour, and was made a gentleman of

younger sous (Ralph and Charles), an eldest son and heir,
StR Henry (who resumed the original surname of his
ancestors) Vane, of Raby Castle, co. Durham, his chief place
of abode, and which continues to be used by his descend-
ants. This gentleman (b. 15S5, knighted 1620) was a dis-
tinguished politician, and stood high in the favour of
James I. and Charles I.; in the former reign he was
appointed cofferer to the Prince of Wales ; and in the latter,
after enjoying many elevated offices (amongst others, that
of Ambassador in Sweden to Gustavus Adolphus, and one
of the commissioners of the Admiralty), was constituted
principal secretary of state for life, and sworn of the privy
council. His subsequentdismissal from office was attributed
to his having offended the king by the active part he took
in the prosecution of the earl of Strafford, against whom, it
is said, he was influenced by private pique, arising from
that nobleman's liaving, when elevated to the peerage,
taken the title of Baron Raby of Raby Castle, which Sir
Henry Vane deemed more properly to belong to himself as
owner of the castle. Sir Henry Vane m, Frances, dau. and
co-heir of Thomas Darcy, Esq. of ToUeshunt Dax-cy, co. Essex

Abergavenny) had, besides daus., two surviving sons,

son. Rev. Henry Vane, D.D., created a Baronet 1782 ;
d. 1794, and was s. by his son, Sir Henry, who, in right

pest. Sir Henry Vane-Tempest yn. in 1799, Anne-Cathe-
rine. Countess of Antrim; and dying in 1813, left an
oidy dau. and heiress, Frances-Anne-Emily, who m. in
1819, Charles, late Marquess of Londonderry.
Sir Henry Vane d. in 1654, and was s. by his elder son, the
famous
Sir Henry Vane, Knt. of Raby Castle, co. Durham, and
of Fairlavm and Hadlow, co. Kent, b. about 1612, knighted
23 June, 1640 — whom Clarendon characterizes as a person
of " great natural parts, a quick conception and very ready,
sharp, and weighty expression," and Milton celebrates in
verse as " Vane, young in years, but in sage counsel old."
He was educated at Westminster and Oxford, and on re-
turning from Geneva, where he imbibed those strong pre-
judices which influenced his future career, emigi-ated with
some dissatisfied spirits to America, where the colonists, in
admiration of his talents, made him, nf)twithstanding his
youth, governor of Massachusetts, which office he did not
long retain, but returned privately to England, where
through the interest of his father he was appointed joint
treasurer of the navy with Sir Wilham Russell, and out-
living his associate, enjoyed the office alone, in which he
displayed a rare example of honour and integrity. The fees
of the office were at that time four pence in the pound,
which, by reason of the war, fairly amounted to upwards of
£30,000 per annum, but Sir Henry Vane looked upon it as
too much for a subject, and nobly relinquished his patent,
which had been granted by King Charles \. for life, to the
then parliament, desiring but £2000 a-year for an agent he
had brought up to the office, the remainder to go to the
public. The part which this distinguished personage after-
wards took against the Court is well known. He aided
in procuring- the condemnation of Strafford, and led the
impeachment against L.aud. He was twice a parliamentary
commissioner, and opposed the terms of peace. After the
King's death, in which he had no share, he became one
of the supreme governing council. He was a strenuous
adversaiy to Cromwell throughout the Protectorate, and
endeavoured to estabMsh a republican constitution after
237
the Protector's death. Clarendon further observes of him
thus: — "When his father received the disobligatiou from
the Lord Stialford, by his being created Baron of Raby, the
house and land of Vane (which title bad been promised him-
self, but it was unluckily cast upon the earl, purely out of
contempt to Vane), they sucked in all the thoughts of
revenge imaginable ; and thence, the son betook himself to
the friendship of Mr. Pym, and all other discontented or
seditious perons, and communicated all that intelligence
that designed the ruin of the earl, and which grafted him
in the entire confidence of those who promoted the same ;
so that nothing was concealed from him, though it is
believed he communicated his own thoughts to very few."
At the Restoration, Vane was arrested, but a promise was
given to parliament that his life should be spared ; in
violation of this he was, 2 June. 1662, arraigned for high
treason, was found guilty, and receiving sentence of death,
was beheaded on Tower Hill, 14 June, 1062. Sir Henry

the eldest co-heir of the aucient Barony of Say, which
has remained in abeyance for several centuries.
When Sir James Fienes obtained the Barony of Say
and Sole, by creation, 1447, John, the 5th and then
Baron Clinton, great-grandson and representative of
R
C L I
C L I
Idonea Say, relinquished all claim to the barony and
arms of Say ; but how far such a cession affects his
descendants, has not been determined. Aecorduig,
however, to the celebrated resolution of the House
of Lords, IS June, 1768, " that no fine now levied,
nor at any time hereafter to be levied, to the king,
can bar such title of honour, or the right of any
person claiming such title under him that levied, or
shall levy, such fine," it would appear that it did not
prejudice their hereditary right. The present Lord
Clinton has by royal licence, dated 4 Sept. 1867,
taken tlie surnames of Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes in
addition to that of Trefusis, and the arms of Stuart
and Forbes quarterly with those of Trefusis.

Alexander de Cockburn obtained the Barony of Car-
rideD, CO. Linlitbgow, from David II., in 135S ; which
barony had been forfeited to the crown, he m. Mary de
Viteri Ponto (from which period the family has been
designated of Langtoun, or Langton), whose father fell
at Bannockburn, in 1314. The eldest son of this marriage,
Sir Alexander Cockburn, Knt. of Langtown, was
keeper of the gi-eat seal between 1389 and 1396 ; and from
him descended
Sir William Cockburn, Knt. of Langtoun, who obtained
a grant, in 1595, of the lands and barony of Langtoun,
with the office of principal uslier, and its fees and casualties,
to himself and his heirs male whatsoever, bearing the
arms and sui-name of Cockburn. He to. Helen, 5th dau. of
Alexander, 4th Lord Elphinstone, and was s. by his son,
I. William Cockburn, Esq., who was created a Baronet
of Nova Scotia in 1627. It appears that, during the life-
time of this gentleman, some question concerning the
office of usher, which he had inherited from his father,
being raised, caused much public agitation. Principal
BaUlie, in his letters, relates "that while the question of
usher was depending in parliament, in 1041, Langton,
too rashly, takes a i-od and puts himself in po.ssession of
the place." The king, who was present, offended at his
presumption, ordered him into custody, which gave rise
to a motion, on the part of the Marquess of Argyll, that,
when any subject of debate occurred, two members of
each estate should be deputed to acquaint the king. Ac-
cordingly, deputies having obtained an audience of his
majesty, in the course of the same day, they remonstrated
on a member of the house being committed without advice
of parliament, .and required the king to enact a law that
neither him.self nor his successors should do so hereafter,
without consulting the legislative body. Sir William sub-
sequently alienated a moiety of the ushership, and became
joint-usher with Col. Cunningham. He wasi.byhisonly son,
II. Sir Archibald, who, in 165T, was returned heir to
his father in the office of principal usher, still held jointly
with Colonel Cunningham, and also in the barony of Lang-
toun, and other property. In 1674, Sir Archibald, havuig
purchased Cunningham's life-rent, obtained another grant
of the office, with a salary of £250, and other emoluments
attached to it, for ever. Sir Archibald d. in 1705, having
had issue, a dau., Anne, m. to Sir G. Stewart, of Grandtully,

This family, which may be denominated nobie, haring
ranked high amongst the old barons of Scotland, can be
traced to the earliest periods of Scottish history, and par-
ticularly to the time of the Bruces, when it attained great
celebrity. Having stated so mnch regarding its antiquity
under the head of Coekbum of Langton, we proceed to
the immediate ancestor of the present baronet.

at the battle of Flodden Field, in 1513, and left, by his wife,
Lady Anna Home, dau. of the Earl of Home, two sons
(his eldest son, Alexander, having been killed at his side),

COLLETON.
Colleton, Sir Robert-

CO. Herts ; h. at King William's
Town, Cape of Good Hope, 31
Aug. 1854 ; s. his father as 9th
baronet, 28 Oct. 1866.
Einraflr.
According to Woottou, the family of Colleton is of Nor-
man origin, aud came to England with the Conqueror ; for
one of the great-uncles of the 1st baronet went back to
Koi-mandy, to recover estates in that duchy, sold them, aud
d. there s. ji. They have been resident for many centuries
in Devon and its vicinity ; and many places are called after
them. By a very ancient grant, from Reginald de Villecore
to Thomas Colleton, of an estate, and by subsequent deeds,
in the beginning of the reign of Edw.4.kd I., we find tlie
Colletons style themselves gentlemen, and that they then
bore the anns which they still continue to use.
The first entry in the pedigree at the Herald's College is
that of — CoUetou, 6. about 1447 ; who m. the dau. and
heiress of — Ridgway, and had a son and heir,
Henry Colleton, h. about 148.J ; who in. Margaret, dau.
of William Bury, of Colleton ; and dying before 15a0, left
two daus. , one of whom in. Thomas Dyer, Esq. of Shob-
brook, and the other, John Brushford, Esq., and three sons,
I. Edmund, 6. about 1513, who left, witli three daus., one of
whom m. — Taunton, Esq., ancestor of Judge 'J'aunton, two
sons, WUliam and John, both of whom d. t. p.
II. Peter d. s.p. iii. Thoiias, of wliom we treat.
The third son,
Thomas Colleton, m. Thomazine, dau. of Thomas Kel-
land, Esq. of Devon, and had three sons, John, m., but
left no male issue ; Peter, of whom presently ; and Roger,
who left issue, but nothing is known of them. The second
ecu,
Peter Colleton, who recorded his pedigree, including
thi-ee ascents before his time, at the visitation of 1620,
was high-sheriff of Exeter in 1618. He m. Ui'sula, dau. of
Henry IluU, of Larkbeare, Exon ; aud d. in 1622, leaving
(with a dau., Elizabeth, m. to Sir Hugh Crocker, Kut.) four
sous, all of whom d. s. p., except the second,
I. John Colleton, 6. in 1608 ; capt. of foot, and a most
active pai-tisan of royalty in the begmning of the civil wars.
Capt. Colleton had a col. 's commission to raise a regiment
from Sir John Berkeley, aftei-wai-ds Lord Berkeley, signed
by the Prince of Wales ; which regiment he raised within
ten days, and expended for the king's service £40,000,
besides loshig considerably more than that sum by seques-
tration. He was obliged eventually to retire to Barbadoes ;
but returning after the Restoration, Sir John Berkeley
presented a memorial in his favour to the king, who, in
consequence, conferred upon him the dignity of Baronet,
18 Feb. 1660-1. Sii- John, in conjunction with the Duke of
Albemarle, and other distinguished personages, had a grant
of large dominions in North America. He m. Katherine,
dau. of William Amy, Esq, of Exon, and left at his decease,
in 1666, a dau. (m. )st, to Lieut. -Gen. Stewart, aud 2ndly,
to Humphrey Selwood) and four sous, viz. ,
I. Peter, his heir
IT. Thomas, settled in Barbadoes, m. the dau. of — Jlead,

Ht'itcaflc.
The origin of this family is enveloped in the obscurity of
remote antiquity, and has been variously traced by uncer-
tain traditifiiis.
But although in the absence of distinct historical records
none of these traditionary accounts can now be authen-
ticated by positive and satisfactory proof, it is certain, at
least, that the name is very ancient ; and that this family
held a large proportion of the territory of Dumbartonshire
by charters from the crown, having also acquired, from
the Lennox family, the important hereditary ofSce of coro-
ner (coronator) of that county.
The fir.st authentic record we have been able to discover
of the COLQUHOUNS of Luss, is to be found in a charter of
Maldowen, 3rd Earl of Lennox, who succeeded his father
Alwyu, the 2ud earl, in 1225, containing a grant of the
lands of Luss in favour of Gilmore, the son of Maldonens
who lived in the reign of William the Lion.
In the reigni of Alexander II., Umphridus de Kilpatrick
obtained a grant of the lands and barony of Colquhoun, in
Dumbartonshire, upon which occasion he gave up the name
of Kilpatrick, and assumed the name of Colquhoun of
Colquhoun. From him descended.
Sir Robert de Colquhoun, who m. the dau. and heiress of
Sir Humphry, of Luss ; since which time the family have
borne the name and designation of Colquhoun, of Colqu-
houn and of Luss. From this Sir Robert several other
familiesofthenameof Colquhoun, in Dumbartonshire, are
descended. He was «. by his eldest son.
Sir Humphry Colquhoun, of that ilk and of Luss, whoso
son.
Sir John Colquhoun, was governor of the castle of
Dumbarton during the minority of James II. His son
Malcolm, who was one of the hostages for the ransom of
James I., ,1. before his father, leaving a son, who s. his
grandfither,
Sir John Colquhoun, the sou of Malcolm, a man of
the most eminent abilities, held the high official situation
of comptroller of the Exchequer, from 1465 until 1469. He
was subsequently appointed sheriff-principal of Dumbarton-
shire, and received a grant of the lands of Rosemeath. In
1474, he was elevated to the rank of great chamberlain of
Scotland. He was likewise one of a commission deputed
to England, with full powers to negotiate a mai-riage be-
tween the Prince Royal of Scotland and the Princess Cicily
dau. of King Edward IV. Sir John acquitted himself so
well in this delicate affair, that he was soon afterwards
appointed governor of Dumbarton Castle for life, with very
extensive powers ; and he received various grants of lands
m consideration of his important public services. In 1478,
COL
COL
he proceeded to the siege of Duubar, and while pcrfoi'ming
his military duties there, he was slain by a cannon shot,
ou the 1st of May, 1478. He m. a dau. of Thomas, Lord

days, — with the view of obtaining a new grant to himself,
in life-rent, and to his daughter and son-in-law, and their

This is one of the ancient Milesian families of Ireland,
deducing- its descent from Maine, son of Nial — Naoigialeok,
or Nial, of the 9 Hostages, Monarch of Ireland, a.d. 400 — the
common ancestor of the O'Neills and O'DonoUs of the North.
The sept assumed its tribe name from " Conaire," a
famous ancestor in the 11th century, according to Irish
custom, which also adding the prefixes 0, and Maol, the
name became " O'ilaolconaire," ^Vnglicfe " 0'Mulconry,"and
was so written until the 16th century, when the O'Conor
Don, O'Conor Roe, and O'Conor Sligo, the dominant Lords
of Connaught, having " come in and submitted to Queen
Eliz.vbetii, a.d. 1585, entered into the 'Indentures of Com-
position'" with Sir John Perrott, lord deputy of Ireland,
wherehj' they covenanted for themselves, and sub-chicf-
tains, to give up their native customs, their tanistic rule,
the usages of their Brehon law, and in some cases the
national prefixes to their sm-names, and instead to adopt
English law, and to hold their estates by EngUsh tenm-es.
The name of this family was henceforth written "Conry."
The Sept enjoyed for mauj- generations, by hereditary
right, the privilege of supplj-ing the Ollamhs of Connaught,
and Soanaohies to tlie kings of that province, in vh-tue of
which office,
"It was the privilege of the O'Midconry (saith the old
clironicles) to stand alone, with the new king, upon the
sacred mount of C'arn Fraoich, and there to deliver into his
hands, the white wand or sceptre, the emblem of sove-
reignty, to admini.ster the usual oath or admonition to pre-
serve the customs of the country, and finally to record the
proceedings."
The early part of the pedigree of the chiefs of this family
(of whom the present baronet is the lineal descendant) is
to be found in the registry entitled Funcrdl Entries of the
Nobility ail'' Gevtry of Irelr'nd fur the year 1638, one of the
books of record in Ulster's Office, Dnbliu Castle, from which it
appears that the funeral, and lineage of Moylin O'Mulconry,
chief of his name, were duly registered, recording him, as
43rd in descent of this ancient family, and received the
warranty dated 6 Jul}% 1638, of Thomas Preston, then
Ulster King of Arms of all Ireland.
From this "Moylin O'Mulconry," of Tullon, co. Ros-
common, [The O'Mulconry] who by his wife Catherine, dau.
of Teique O'Flanagan of Ceancloin, had issue, five sons and
four daus., and d. 5 Jan. 1637, there descended
Thorn.^ O'Mulconey, or C'onry, eldest son and heir, who
'hi. a dau. of Ferdoragh Mac Brcnan, of Clonioan-an, Gent.
and dying in 1647, was s. by his only son,
John O'Mulconry, or Conry, who, having taken pai-t,
in the civil war, as a royalist, suffered from the confisca-
tions inflicted upon the native families by Cromwell, and
fled to France, where finally dropping the prefixes to his
name, he m. in 1655, Florence, dau. and heir of G. Fitz-
gerald (of the gi-eat family of Desmond), by a French lady,
and was killed in the service of Louis XIV, at the passage
256
CON
of the Rhine, in June, lOTi, leaving one dau. and two sons.
The elder,
Charles Conry, Esq., h. in 1657, had a re-grant of land in
CO. Roscommon from King Charles II., dated 16 Aug. 1678.
By the adherence of this gentleman to the cause of King
James II., be was totally ruined, and fell at the battle of
the Boj-ne, 1 July, 1090. He was s. by his brother as heir
male,

Richard Boyle, 2nd son of Roger, mentioned above,
h. in 1566, studied law at the Middle Temple ; but despair-

studies, embai-ked for Ireland as an adventm-er ; and ha vino-

amassed considerable wealth, received the honoiu- of

2G4
to the peerage of that kingdom, 16 Sept. 1616, as Baron

land. His lordship m. Elizabeth, dau. of William, Earl
of Denbigh (which lady was created, on the restoration
of Charles 11., Countess of Guilford), but had no issue.
He fell at the battle of Liscarroll, 1642, when his honours
passed (agreeably to a special limitation in the patent) to
Iiis elder brother. Lord Dungarvan.
III. Roger, b. in 1621, elevated to the peerage of Ireland,
as Baron of Broghill, with remainder to the heirs male of
his father, 28 Feb. 1627. This nobleman, who made so con-
siderable a figure in the camp, the court, and the literary
world, had distinguished commands in Ireland, prior to, and
under the rule of Cromwell, and acquired considerable
renown in reducing the Irish to submit to the government
of the Commonwealth. Contributing eventually, however,
after Cromwell's death, to the restoration of the monarchy,
his lordship was created, 5 Sept. 1660, Earl of Orrery,
and ill tlie same year constituted (5 Sept.), by patent, lord-
president (if Munster for life. He d. 16 Oct. 1679, and was s.

nary to Brabant and Flanders, created a peer of Great

Siimj rsef. His lordship, who was known in the world of

Bentley, and who had his designation of " Orrery " given
to a new astronomical instrument, by its inventor, George
Graham, rn. Lady Elizabeth Cecil, only dau. of John,
5th Earl of Exeter; and dying, 1731, was s. by his only
son,
John, 5th Earl of Orrery, who s. in 1753, to the Earl-
dom OF Cork.
IV. Francis, created Viscount Shannon, 1660, an honour
which expired, 1740, with his grandson and successor,
Richard, 2nd viscount.
V. Robert, of Stalbridge, in Dorsetshire, 6. at Lismore,
25 Jan. 1626; the celebrated philosopher, who, ennobled
by his own transcendent talents, repeatedly refused the
dignities of the state, having been several times offered a
peerage. He d. 30 Dec. 1691, and was interred in the
chancel of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, Westminster. His
character is given by Dr. Gilbert Burnet, in his Funeral
Sermon, preached on him at St. Martin's-in-the-Fields,
7 Jan. 1692; and The prese nt state of Europe ioY theYehrwary
of the same year, contains this paragraph: — "The famous
Mr. Boyle is dead, and his loss is lamented by all learned
men. He was a philosopher under a particular character,
for he addicted himself only to the study of natural
philosophy, though he did not reject the other parts of that
science ; and it may be said, that never any man had dived
so deep into the knoA\ ledge of nature as he had done ; he
had studied with a prodigious sedulity, and had so many
experiments to explain the several phenomena which daily
happen upon the concurrence of natural accidents, that there
were few at this time of which he did not understand the real
causes."
The great earl, who was lord-treasurer of Ireland, d. at
Youghall, in Sept. 1643, and lies interred in his chapel
within the parish chru-ch there, where to him is erected a
beautiful marble monument, with cm-iously engraven thereon
his figure at full length in armour, having on each side the
efEgies of his wives, and the names and marriages of his
children, with an inscription expressing his own marriages,
titles, anil employments, which concludes with this distich —
"Sic posui tumulum, Superest intendere Votis :
Paree anjmae, carnem solvito, Christe, veni."
The earl's wife, Lady Cork, d. previously in Dublin, 16 Feb,
1629, and was privately buried in a vault which her husband
had purchased from the dean and chapter of St. Patrick's
Cathedral, over which a fair monirment is erected, headed
with this motto, " God's providence is our inheritance."
Of the great earl. Sir Richard Cox writes thus : — "The

most extraordinary persons, either that or any other age
hath produced, with respect to the great and just acquisition
of estate that he made, and the pubho works that he began
and finished, for the advancement of the English interest
and the protestant religion in Ireland, as churches, alms-
houses, free-schools, bridges, castles, and towns, viz.,
Lismore, Tallaghe, Cloghnikilty, Innyskeene, Castleton,
and Bandon, which last place cost hiui £14,000 ; insomuch,
that when Cromwell saw these prodig'ious imprqvements,
which he little expected to find in Ireland, he declared that
if there had been an Earl of Cork in every province, it
would have been impossible for the Irish to have raised a
rebellion. And whilst he was caiTj-ing on these solid works,
he lived in his family at a rate of plenty, that exceeded
those who consumed gi-eat estates in the la-\ash ways of
ill-ordered excess. His motto, ' God's providence is my
inheritance, ' shews from whence he derived all his blessings,
the gi-eatest of which was the numerous and noble posterity
he had to leave his estate \mto." He was s. by his eldest
son,
EiCHARD, 2nd earl. This nobleman, having m. in 1635,
Elizabeth, dau. and heii-ess of Henry Clifford, 5th Earl of
Cumberland, was made a peer of England, 4 Nov. 1644, as

of Chfford, as great-grandson of Lady Elizabeth Clifford,
dau. and heh- of Henry, Lord Clifford ; and the House of
Peers acknowledged and confinned his lordship's right
thereto. This nobleman was erainent as a mmiificent
encourager of literatiu-e and the fine arts, and as the friend
of Pope he will be ever remembered. He d. in 1753, and

was created a Baronet, 4 March, 1642. Sir William m.
Martha, dau. of James Masters, Esq. of East Langdon, ha
Kent ; and dying in 1664, was s. by his grandson,
II. Sir William, M.P. for Hertford; who vi, Sarah, dau.
of Sir Samuel Hollcd, of London, knt , and had two sons, viz.,
I. William, his successor.
II. Spencer, a barrister of note, who was appointed Attorney-
General to the Prince of Wales in 1714, Chief-Justice of
Chester in 1717, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in
1727, and in the Oct. of the same year one of the judges of
the Court of Common Pleas.* By his first wife, Pennington,
dau. of John Goodere, Esq., he left at his decease, 10 Dec.
1728 (his dau. Judith, known as a poetess, was wife of Col.
Martin Madan, M.P.), three sons,
1 William, clerk of the parhaments, who d. in 1740, leaving

* This highly respected judge was, perhaps, the only instance
of an English advocate being tried for his life, and afterwards
sitting hunself on the judicial bench. Mr. Spencer Cowper,
when a young man and a barrister of the Home Circuit, was
arraigned at the Hertford assizes, 16 July, 1699, on the capital
charge of murdering Miss Sarah Stout, whose death was clearly
the result of suicide. Mr. Cowper was honourably acquitted.
The trial made an immense sensation at the time.

William Cowpek, the illustrious Poet, who was &. at
Berkhampstead, 15 Nov. 1731, was educated at West-
minster school, and was amembev of the Inner Temple,
but never went to the bar. He held the ofhce of Clerk
of the Journals of the House of Lords, but his mental
infirmity incapacitated him eventually for official duty.
This gifted and gentle individual, who translated
Homer so ably, and who wrote The Task; John Gilpin,
and other admirable poems, both serious and lively, which
will endure while the English language lasts, was the
victim of a hopeless state of insane melancholy, relieved
by occasional lucid intervals. He d. unm. 25 April, 1800.

was made Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, 11 Oct 1705,
and elevated to the peei-age, 9 Nov. 1706, as Baron Cowper,
of Wingham, co. Kent. In the same year we find his lord-
ship one of the commissioners for the treaty of union
between England and Scotland ; and in the year following
(4 May, 1 707) he was declared Lord High Chancellor of
Great Britain. On the demise of Queen Anne, Lord
Cowper was constituted one of the lords justices until the
arrival of George I. from Haiiovcr. In 1716, his lordship
was appointed lord high steward of Great Britain, for the
trial of the rebel lords ; and 18 March, 1717-18, he was

His lordship is the acknowledged chief of the ancient
house of Lindsay, and had the Earldom of Crawford
confirmed to him by the House of Lords in 1818.
Einratjr.
Sir William Dugdale mentions several considerable fami-
lies of Lindsay m England in the eleventh and twelfth
centuries, observing that the surname was first assumed by
the proprietors ol the lands and manor of Lindsai, co.
Essex. It is the opinion of Scotch antiquaries, that one
of these Lindsays, coming with King Malcolm Canmore
into Scotland, and settling there, obtained the lauds of
Wachopdale, and other possessions, from the crown, and
founded the family of Lindsay beyond the Tweed. ' It is
certain that the Lindsaya began to be of note in Scotland
temp. Alexander I. (the son of Malcolm), who succeeded
to the throne in 1107. From this era our limits compel us
to pass to the close of the 14th century, when
Sir David Lindsay, 7th feudal lord of Crawford and
Glenesk, was elevated to the peerage of Scotland, 21 April,
1398, as Eael or Crawford. "This Sir David LuKlsav

acted the piincipal part in the celebrated tournament at
London Bridge, in May, 1390. John, Lord Welles, ambas-
sador from Eichard II. to Scotland, at a solemn banquet
where the Scots and English were discoursing of deeds of
arms, said, ' Let words have no place : if you know not the
chivalry and vaUant deeds of Englishmen, appoint me a day
and place, where you list, and you shall have experience.'
Whereupon, Sir David Lindsay assenting. Lord Welles se-
lected London Bridge as the place for a trial of skill. Lind-
say rei)aired to London with a gallant train of thirty persons ;
and on the day appointed, appeared in the lists against
Lord Vrelles. At the somid of trumpet they encountered
each other, upon their barbed horses, with square grounden
spears. In this adventure, Lindsay sat so strong that,
notwithstanduig Lord 'Welles' spear was broken upon his
helmet and visage, he stirred not, insomuch that the spec-
tators cried out that, contrary to the laws of arms, he was
bound to his saddle. Whereupon he dismounted, got ou
his horse again without assistance, and, in the third course,
threw Lord Welles out of his saddle to the gTOund. Then
dismounting, he supported his adversary, and, with gi-eat
humanity, visited him eveiy day, till he recovered the
effects of the fall." His lordship ijt. Catharine Stuart, 6th
dau. of Robert II., and was s. m 1412, by his eldest son,
Alexander, 2nd Earl of Crawford, who m. Mariota, dau.
and heii'ess of David Dunbar, of Cookbum, and grand-
daughter of George, Earl of March, and had six sons, of
whom, Alexander, the 2nd but eldest surviving, succeeded
to the Earldom op Crawford, and the next,
Walter Lindsay, styled of Kinblethmont, had charters
of the baronies of Arde and Bewfort in 1459, and of the
bai'ony of Panbride in 1463. He rii. 1st, Sophia, dau. of
Liv'ngton, of Saltcoates, but by her had no issue. He m.
2ndly, Isabel, dau. of William, Lord Livingston, and had an
only son, his successor.
Sir David Lindsay, of Edzell and Bewfort, who was s. in
1527, by his grandson.
Sir David Lindsay, of Edzell and Glenesk (eldest son of
Walter Lindsay, who fell at Flodden, 9 Sept. 1513). To
this gentleman,* David, 7th Earl of Crawford, made an
assignment of his title and estates, with the concun-ence of
the crown ; and, upon the decease of that nobleman in 1542,
Sir David became son earl_ of Crawford. He retained the
dignity, however, for life only ; and it returned at his death
to the grandson of his predecessor. His lordship m. Ist,
Janet, dau. of Andrew, 3rd Lord Gray, and relict of Alex-
ander Blair, of Balthyock, and of Thomas, 4th Lord Lovat ;
but by her had no issue. He m. 2ndly, Catheruie, dau. of
Sir John Campbell, of Caldei-, and had,
I. David (Sir), his successor, whose great-great-grandson, and
lineal descendant,
John Lindsay, of Edzell, upon the extinction of the
male line of David, 9th Earl of Crawford, by the death
of George, Lord Spynie,t in 1672, becoming chief of the
Lindsays, and entitled, by the terms upon which his
ancestor, David, Sth Earl of Crawford, restored that
* Alexander, Master of Crawford, and his brother, John
Lindsay, having seized, fettered, and imprisoned their
father, David, 1th Earl of Crau-furd, were disinherited in
consequence by his lordship, who assigned by deed, dated
20 Dec. 1541, with the approbation of the crown, his honours
and estates to his cousin, and next male heir after these
sons, Sir David Lindsay, of Edzell, (mentioned above); and
tlie said David inherited at the earl's decease, in 1542 (the
Master of Crawford and his brother having previously died,
the latter issueless) ; but being of a generous disposition, he
re-conveyed the titles and estates to David Lindsay, son of
the said Master of Crawford, but with the express provision,
that failing heirs male of this David's body, the estates and
honours of Crawford should descend to the heirs male of
Edzell. He likewise ^eser^•ed to himself the title for life, .
with sufficient property to maintain his rank. Upon the
demise, then, of Ludovic, 14th Earl of Crawford, the hon-
ours, &c., should certainly have descended to the ancestor of
Lord Balcarres.
t Sir Alexander Lindsay, 4th son of David, 9th Earl of
Crawford, was created by James VI. a peer of parUament,
by the title of Loed Spynie. His lordship was s. by his son,
Alexander, 2nd Lord Spynie, who d. in 1646, and was *.
by his only surviving son,
"George," 3rd Lord Spynie. At the death of Ludovic, I4th
Earl of Crawford, the representation of the family of Lind-
say devolved upon this nobleman, and upon his decease, in
1672, John Lindsay, of Edzell, ancestor of the Lords Bal-
carres, became (as in the text) head of the ancient house of
Lnidsay. On the title of Spynie, the lords of session, in
their return to the House of Peers, 1740, observed, that the
yiatent of creation has not been found in the lecurds, nor
bus any person sat in parliament under that title since 1689,
neither has any person claimed a ^■ote in virtue thereof at
any electio sine the Union.
C R A
dignity to David, grandson of the 7tn Earl, to the
Earldom of Crawford, preferred his claim to parlia-
ment, but unsuccessfully. (The Earldom of Crawford
and the estates of that branch of the Lindsays were
conferred by act of parliament, in 1644, after the for-
feiture of Ludovio, 14L,h earl, upon John, 10th Lord
Lindsay, of Byers, alterwards Earl of Crawford and
Lindsay, lord high treasurer of Scotland.) John Lind-
say of Edzell's ma'e line ceased with his grandson,
David Lindsay, in 1744, and the representation of the
Lindsays, then devolved upon the descendant of John
Lindsay, David, 8th Lord Crawford's 2nd son, of whom
we are about more particularly to treat.

IV. Walter (Sir), of Kempshill. v. James, in holy orders.
I. Elizabeth, m. to Patrick, Lord Drummond.
II. Margaret, m. to John Innermeath.
The second son,
John Lindsay, a veiy eminent Scottish lawyer, was
made one of the senators of the College of Justice in 1 584,
was sworn of the privy council in 1595, and, in the follow-
ing year, appointed a commissioner of the Treasury, and
secretary of state, when he resigned the pcpst of lord of ses-
sion in favour of his brother, .Sir David Lindsay. This
eminent person was also one of the eight Magnates Scotice,
constituted governors of the kingdom, who were designated
Octaolang. He m. Margaret, dan. of Alexander Guthrie,
burgess of Edinburgh, relict of David Botli wick, of Lochhill,
king's, advocate, and had two sons and three daus. He
obtained, by charter, in 1591, the estate of Balcarres, and
was s. at his decease in 1598, by his elder son,
John Lindsay, of BalcaiTes, who cl. in minority, Jan.
1600-1, and was g. by his brother,
Sir David Lindsay, of Balcarres, who was elevated to
the peerage of Scotland, 27 June, 1633, by the title of Lord
Limhay of Balcarres. His lordship m. Sophia, dau. of Alex-
ander, Earl of Dmifermline, and was s. at his decease, in
1641, by his only son,
Alexander, 2nd baron, who for his gi'eat loyalty and
eminent services, was advanced, 9 Jan. 1651, to the E.^rl-
DOM OF Balcarres. His lordship was made heritable
governor of the castle of Edinburgh, secretary of state,
and commissioner to the General Assembly. He in. Anne,
dau. and co-heir of Colin, 1st Earl of Seaforth, and had
issue, Charles, and Colin; and three daus., Ann, who (Z.

The earl d. 30 Aug. ] 659, and was s. by his elder son,
Charles, 2nd earl. This nobleuian dying imm. in 1662,
the honours devolved upon his brother,
Colin, 3rd earl. His lordship, a stanch adherent of the
house of Stuart, was obliged, at the Revolution, to retire
to the Continent, where he remained in exile for ten years.
He obtained, at length, permission to return, but after-
wards (in 1715) joining the standard of the Chev.vlier, he
owed his safety to his friend the Duke of Marlborough, and
the act of indemnity. His lordship m. four times ; 1st,
Lady Mauritia de Nassau, by whom he had no surviving
issue ; 2ndly, Jean, eldest dau. of David, Earl of Northesk,
by whom he had a dau., Anne, Countess of Kellie ; Srdly,

The family of Croft, which is of Saxon origin, settled in
Herefordshire at a very i-emote period. Camden, in his
description of that county, says "Not far off [from Richard's
Castle] stands Croft Castle, belonging to the very ancient
and knightly family of the Crofts;" and in Domesday-
Book, Bernard de Croft is mention'sd as holding the lands
of Croft, which his descendants inherited until the close of
the 18th century.
From an almost uninten-upted line of knights, distin-
guished alike in council and in ai-ms, descended
Sir John de Croft, Knt. of Croft Castle, co. Hereford,
captain of Merk Castle, near Calais, who was frequently
employed in negotiations in Flanders, between 140'2 and
1404. He m. Janet, dau. and presumed co-heir of Owen

Henry VI., at the battle of Tewkesbury, in 1471. This
gallant soldier was appointed treasurer of the household to
Henry VIL, and had the high honour of knight-banneret
conferred upon him at the battle of Stoke, in 14S7. Tho
direct descendant of Sir Richard,

of the household to Queen Elizabeth, and was t. at his

Sir Roderick, of whom presently.
Colin, ancestor of the MacKenzies of Kinnock.
Alexander, ancestor of the Mackenzles of Kilcoy, Barts.
The second son,
Sir KoDBBicK Mackenzie, was a man of great prudence,
courage, and resolution, and was instrumental in civilizing the
northern parts of Scotland, which was of vast service to the
nation, and so agreeable to King James VI, that he conferred
the honour of knighthood upon him, and gave him a grant of
several lands in the north country, then in the crown by for-
feiture. Sir Roderick vi. Margaret, dau. of Torquill MacLeod,
of Lewes, upon which he added to his armorial bearing of

ments, great learning, well versed in Scottish laws and antiqui-
ties, and an able statesman. In 1654 he was joined in commis-
sion with General Middleton, by King Charles II, to raise
forces for his majesty's service, which he did, and maintained
a war against the English for above twelve months, but at last
being defeated by General Morgan, he was forced to capitu-
late, which he did upon honourable terms. King Charles
sensible of Sir George Mackenzie's loyalty and faithful services,
made him, soon after the Restoration, one of the Senators of
College of Justice, and a privy councillor. In 1678 MacKenzie
was constituted Justice General, and in 1681 he was made lord
register. Being in no less favour with James II, that monarch,
immediately upon his accession to the throne, created him a
peer, as Fiscoant Tarbat, Lord MacLeod, and Lord Ca.itle-
Haven, by letters patent, dated 15 April, 1685, and renewed his
commission for being lord register, which office he lost at the
Revolution ; but King William being no stranger to his great
abilities, was pleased to restore him to the lord register's
office in 1692. About this time his lordship published, from
authentic documents and records, his leaitjed vindication of
King Robert III from the imputation of bastardy, and rectified
an error which many historians had most unaccountably fallen
into. In the beginning of Queen Anne's reign he was consti-
tuted Secretary of State, in 1702; and on the 1st of January,
1703, her majesty advanced him to the dignity of Earl of Cro-
marty, Viscount Tarbat, Lord MacLeod, and Lord Castle-
Haven, by patent to his heirs-male, and of tailzie. He was
afterwards made Justice-General, which office he resigned in

where he remained during the siege; he soon got a pair of
colours, and some time after a lieutenancy in the royal
dragoons; in 1740 he was appointed a captain of foot, and in
1745 was sent, with a detachment from Ireland to join the
British army then in Flanders, and always behaved with
distinction : but the regiment in which he was eldest cap-
tain was reduced at the peace of Aix la Chapelle. He m.

he, with his son Lord MacLeod, was suiiirised and taken by a
party of Lord Sutherland's militia at Dunrobin Castle, 15 April,
1746. He and his son were sent prisoners to Inverness, and

Hincatjr.
Van Bassen, in his History of the Kings of Scotland,
states that this family is descended from one Malcolm, son
of Freskin, who, when Prince Malcolm fled from Macbeth,
towards England, after the murder of King Duncan, con-
cealed the prince from his pursuers, by forking hay or straw
over him ; and for this service. King Malcolm, after his
restoration, conferred the thanedom of Cuninghame upon
his preserver.
Vernebald, the first of this family whose name appears
in authentic record, was settled in the west of Scotland
about the commencement of the lith century. His son,
Robert, designated "Robertus filius Veniebaldi," made a
donation of the patronage of the kirk of Kilmaurs, &c. , to
the abbey of Kelso, about 1153. He m. Richenda, dau. and
heiress of Sir Humphry de Barclay, of Gaimtully.
Robertus, filius Roberti filii Vemebaldi, previous to 1189,
confirmed the gi-ants made by his father.
Hervey de Conynghame, great grandson of the last
Robert, represented the family about 1264, in which year
lie had a charter from Alexander III. He founded a
collegiate church at Kilmaurs, and is renowned in tradition
for his gallant conduct at the battle of Largs, against the
Dane.?, 1263. He m. the heiress of Riddell of Glengarnock,
and was s. by his son.
Sir William de Cunynohame, of Kilmaurs, who d. in
1285, and was s. by his eldest son,
Edward de Cunynohame of Kilmaurs, who was s. by
his eldest son,
Gilbert de Cunynoh.ame, of Kilmaurs, who was s. in
1292 by his son.
Sir Robert de Cunynohame, of Kilmaurs, who swore
fealty to Edward I. ; but declaring afterwards for Robert
Bruce, had a charter from that monarch of the superiority
of the lands of Lambrachtoun and Grugere, in Cunning-
hame, to be holden of the king, as Alan la Suche and
William de F'ereres held the same. He d. in 1330, and was
s. by his eldest son,
Sir William de Cunynohame, of Kilmaurs, on whom
David II. confeired the Earldom of Carrick, 1361, as
husband of Eleanor Bruce, dau. of Alexander Bruce, Earl
of Carrick, son of Edward Bruce, brother of Robert I.*
* Edward Bruce, brother of Robert I. of Scotland, had a
charter of the family earldom of Carrick to himself and heirs
riKile, failing whom, to revert to the crown. By Lady Isabel
Ross, tlaughter of the Earl of Ross, he had three sons,
Robert, Thomas, Alexander, generally said to have been
illegitimate. The fact, however, that all these in succession
inherited the earldom, under the charter alluded to above,
IS convincing proof that they were legitimate according to
Scottish law. As a dispensation from the Pope is on record
permitting the marriage— " Edwarde de Brus, comitis de
Carryk, et Isabellaj de Ross," <fec. — notwithstanding _ the
parties being within the proscribed degree of consang^iinity,
it is not improbable there had been a marriage between the
parents dissolved for a time by the church, as was a common
practice in those days, and afterwards rendered valid by the
dispensation of the Pope.
Of these three Earls of Carrick, two fell in battle, and the
third died a prisoner in England. Only one was married ; he
esnoused Eleanor, sister of the potent Earl of Douglas, and
had an only child, named Eleanor (who married Sir Wilham
Cunynghame, of Kilmaurs). The heirs male of Edward
Bruce having thus failed, the earldom of Carrick ought to
have reverted to the crown, in terms of the charter; but
exception seems to have been made in favour of his grand-
daughter, his only existing descendant; and, according to
the custom of the time, her husband became Earl of Carrick.
The charter in his favour is on record, and singularly incom-
plete, as if there had been a doubt as to the propriety of the
gvant: "David D. G. Rex Scottorum, sciatis nos dedisse
concessisse et hac presenti carta confirmasse dilecto consan-
guineo nostro Willielmo de Cuninghame militi totum comi-
tatum de Carryk." Without date; the charters immediately
preceding and "following on the record are dated at Aber-
deen, rith Sept. 1361. No mention being made of heirs, it
was clearly intended the earldom should revert to the elder
branch of the Bruce family. Indeed, after Lady Eleanor's
death, it was re-assumed by Robert II., and soon after con-
ferred on his eldest son, John, during Sir William's lifetime.
t It is a question who was mother of Sir VViUiam Cuning-
hame's successor, and other sons. The fact that the earldom
did not descend in his family seems to have led to some
misapprehension on this point amongst genealogists, who
have generally stated that they were not sons of Lady
Eleanor Bruce, but the offspring of a previous marriage.
C U N"
As appears from a charter of the hiiids of Kiucleven,
Sir William was married, 2ndly, to a lady, by name Mar-
garet, but of what family is not known. Though generally
stated otherwise, it would seem that by Eleanor Bruce, Sir
William had five sons.t Kobert, the eldest, died young.
The second
Sib William Cunynqhame, succeeded his father about
the end of the century. Of date 1400, he resigned his
estates for new enfeoffment, and obtained a charter from
Robert III. to Sir William and his heirs male, faihng
whom, to his brothers, Thomas, Alexander, and John, in
succession, and their heirs male, failing whom, to other
near relatives of the name of Cunyiighame, &c.. of the
lands and baronies, Kilmaurs, Lambrachton, Kilbryde,
Skelmorlie, and Polquharne, co. Ayr ; lands and barony of
Eedhall, co. Edinburgh ; lands of Nevy, in Forfarshire ;
the barony of Hassingden, in Roxburghshire ; and tlie lands
of Ranfurley, in the barony of Renfrew. Sir William m.
the eldest dau and co-heiress of Sir Robert de Danyelston,
and with her obtained a large addition to the famil3'
property. The division between the co-heiresses took place
in 1404, and in Sir William's share were included the baro-
nies of Glencairne and Fjmlayston.
Sir Robert Cunynqhame, of Kilmaurs, son of the pre-
ceding, succeeded. He was one of the jury who tried and
condemned Murdach, Duke of Albany, in the reign of
James I. By his wife, Anne, only dau. of Sir John de
Montgomeiy, of Ardrossan, he had his successor,
Alexander Conynohame, who about 1450 was created
Lord Kilmaurs, and for the strenuous support, given to
his sovereign against the rebel nobles, headed by the
prince, he was raised to the dignity of an earl, with the
title of Glencairn, 28 May, 14S8. A few days after, a
battle took place between the hostUe parties near Stirling,
where the royal army was defeated, and where the king
and newly-created earl were both slain. The rebel party
having thus come into power, the parliament was con-
voked, and an act passed, aimulling all grants of peerages-
or lands confei-red by James 111. during the late struggle.
Amongst these was included the title of Glencairn.
Robert Cunynqhame, 2nd Earl of Glencairn, eldest son
of Alexander, by Margaret, dau. of Lord Hales, sat in par-
liament under the act of forfeiture as Lord Kilmaurs. He
m. Christian, dau. of tlie Lord Lindsay, of Bi,Tes. Their son,
Cuthbebt Cunynqhame, succeeded about 1492, and sat
in parliament as 3rd Lord Kilmaurs, but had sufficient in-
fluence at court to obtain a confirmation of the title of Glen-
cairn, which he obtained at the mai'riage of James IV. with
Margaret, dau. of Henry VII. of England, 1503. Cuth-
bcrt m. Lady Mary Douglas, dau. of Archibald, 5th Earl of
Angus, by whom he had a eon,
William, 2nd Earl of Glencairn (commonly called 4th
earl by peerage vvriters). He was twice «!.. ; 1st to Cathe-
rine Borthwick, dau. of Lord Borthwick ; and 2ndly, to
Elizabeth Campbell, of West London. He had five sons,
1st, Alexander, who succeeded as Earl of Glencairn, and
whose male descendants failed in 1796 ; and 2nd,
Andrew Cuninghame, who was first of the bouse of
Corshill. In the year 1532, his father made the origin il
grant by charter, in his favour, of the lands of Dowera,
Potterton, Robertland, Cuttiswray, and Clerkland, which
grant, including the two Corshills, wasafterwards confirmed
to him and his wife, Margaret Cuninghame (of the family of
Polmaise), by royal charters, dated 4 May, 1537, and 4 Jan.
1538. Like his elder brother, Alexander, 5tli Earl of Glen-
cairn, Andrew was actively engaged in support of the
Reformation, and being convicted of heresy before the lords
spiritual in 1538, had hia estate forfeited. However, lie
was afterwards pardoned, and his property restored ; in
confirmation of which he obtained another grant by charter
None, however, have attempted to give the name of the lad.v,
nor is there a shadow of evidence to support their state-
ments; on the contrary, the charters alluded to above prove
that the second marriage took place after Lady Eleanor's
death. The names of the sons alone would seem sufficient
to indicate their maternal descent. The eldest was called
Robert; the third and fourth, Thomas and Alexander ; which
were the names of Edward Bruce's sons. 'J'lie second son
was William, not improbably named after the Earl of Dou-
glas, Eleanor Bruce's uncle, and the youngest John, possibly
after John Stewart, (afterwards king, as Robert III.,) also a
near relative. The eldest son, Robert, died young; the
second, William, was a knight so early as 1384, and distin-
guished fi-om his father by the word "filius," m various
documents, between that date and 1397, which prove the
father was then alive. His death must have taken place after
that, and previous to 1400.

from the king, of the same lands, in favour of himself his
spouse, and their heirs male. Upon the death of Andrew
m 1545, his eldest son, '
CuTHBERT Cuninghame, eucceedod, as appears by an
instrument of sasine in his favour, of that date. After his
marriage with Mauld Cuninghame (dau. of Cuninghame of
Aitket), Cuthbert resigned his estate into the hands of the
sovereign, for new enfeoffment, and thereupon obtained a
charter from Henry and Mauv, to himself, his spouse, and
their heirs. He died 1575, and left two sons, Patrick and
Alexander, who were for some time under the guardian-
ship of their grand-uncle, Hugh Cuninghame, of Watters-
ton ; and two daus., Jean and Margaret. About this time,
the long-continued feud between the Cunynghames and
Moutgomeries appears to have been at its height, in which
feud the eldest son, Patrick, was slain.
Alexander Cuninghame, successor of his brother, m.
Marion Porterfield, dau. of Porterfield of Duchal, by whom
he had two sous, Alexander; and David, of Dalbeith, m.
Margaret Cuninghame, and had issue ; and three daus ,

Craufurd, of Craufurdland ; and Janet, m. to Blair of
Adamtou. The eldest son,
Alexander Cuninghame, s. his father in May, 1546. By
his wife, Mary Houston (of the family of Houston of that
ilk), he had two sons, Alexander and Cuthbert ; and two
daus., Elizabeth, m. to James Duulop, of Dunlop ; and
Margaret, m. to James Stewart, of Torrance. The eldest
son, Alexander, predeceased his father, leaving by his wife,
Anne Craufurd (of the Kilbirny family), an only son,
I. Alexander Cuninghame, on whom, and his afftanced
wife, his grandfather settled his estate by disposition and
charter, reserving to himself the life-rent. Alexander
Cuninghame, senior, d. about the year 1667, and his grand-
son obtained a charter from the crown in favuur of himself
and spouse and their heirs, in confirmation of the dispo.sition
made by his grandfather ; and, 26 Feb. 1672, the dignity of
a Baronet by diploma was conferred on him and the heirs
male of his body. By his wife, Mary Stewart, diu. of John
Stewart, younger, of Blackball, he left a son, Alexander ;
and two daus., Mary, m. to Craufurd of Dalegle; and
Elizabeth. His son,
II. Sir Alexander, s. in March. 1685, and m. in 1686,

whom he had a dau., Jean ; and an only sou,

and one dau., Margaret, hi. to- — Craig, Esq. The eldest
son, Capt. Alexander Cuninghame, was in tlie army, and
served in the wars in Flanders. Upon succeeding to the
estate of Kirktonholm, he adopted the names and,a.rms of
Montgomery, in consequence of a clause to that effect in
the deed of entail. He vi. Elizabeth, eldest dau. and there-

Eiitcasc.
The surname of Dick is one of very great antiquity in
North Britain, and it is supposed to have had the same
origin as Van Dyke (or Lord of the Dykes) in the Low
Counti-ies.
William de Dyck was alderman, or first magistrate, of
Edinburgh, 1296, before the institution of the office of lord-
provost, and from him descended
James Dick, who was designated iu a charter under the
great seal, dated Jan. 1539. "Merchant-Burgess of Ar-
broath ;" this James left a sou,
Alexander Dick, who resided chiefly upon his landed
property in the Orkneys ; and after the Reformation, being
a person of knowledge and learning, was appointed provost
of the cathedral church of Orkney. He d. in 1580, and was
s. by his only son,
John Dick, a merchant of great eminence, who was s.
by an only son.
Sir William Dick. This gentleman, adopting from his
youth the profession of commerce, became one of the most
eminent bankers in Scotl.and, and acquired considerable
wealth, even before the decease of his father, which appears
by hisidvancing to the king £6000 sterling, to defray the
household expenses when his majesty held a parliament in
Scotland, iu 1618. In 1628, he farmed the customs on
wine, at £6222 sterling, and the crown rents in Orkney,
at £3000 sterling per annum, and afterwards the excise.
C U N
Mr. Dick, was elected lord-provost of Edmb\irgh in 1638
and 1639 ; and after receiving the honour of knighthood in
1046, was created a Barotiet of Nova Scotia. Sir William
was fined by the parliamentarians, as a malignant, in no
less a sum than £64,934 ; and afterwards coming to London
to demand payment of moneys he had previnusly advanced
upon government security, he was thrown into prison by
the usurper Cromwell, and d. at Westminster, 19 Dec.
1655, when the baronetcy passed to his grandson, but was
not. we believe, assumed by that gentleman. The 4th son
of Sir William,
Alexander Dick, had already received from his father,
in jiatrim my, the lands of Heug, near North Berwick, and
was s. at his decease by his only son,
I. James Dick, a merchant of great eminence and wealth
in Edinburgh, who, having purchased the lands of Priest-
field, or Prestonfield, was created a Baron-A of Nova Scotia,
2 Marc'i, 1677, under the title of Sir James Dick, of
Prestonfield. Sir James came from London, in 1682, with
the Duke of York, and was with his royal highness in the
"Gloucester" man-of-war, when that vessel struck upon a
sand-bank. He was one of the few who took to the long-
boat, (the prince and Mr. Churchill, afterwards the Great
Duke of Marlborovigh, efieoting their escape in another
boat,) and so saved Lis life, whilst several persons of the
first rank who remained in the shij) perished. In the
same year that he had this miraculous escape. Sir James
was elected lord-provost of Edinburgh, and again in 1683.
He m. Anne, dau. of William Paterson Esq. of Drumure,
CO. Fife, by whom he had several children, but none
to attain maturity, save one, Janet, who m. Sir William
Cuningham, Bart, of Caprington. Sir James being thus
deprived of male issue, made an entail of his estates of
Prestonfield and Corstorphine, in 1699, " t j himself and the
heirs male of his body ; which f dling, to the second and
younger sons successively, of his davi. Janet, by the said
Sir William Cuningham," die. He also got a Nova Scutia
Baronetcy, from Queen Anne, 22 March, 1707, settling the
dignity to go according to the entail of his estate. Sir
James d. in 1728, and was s. in his est ites by his aforesaid
dau. to whom s. and to the baronetcy, her son,
II. Sir Alexander Dick, (paternally Cuningham,) of
Prestonfield. This gentleman, previously to the decease of
his brother, had studied medicine, and pi-actised with great
repute in the county of Pembroke, as Doctor Alexander
Cuningham. In the year 1756, he was unanimously chosen
president of the royal c illege of Edinburgh ; and for seven
years afterwards successively had the same high honour
conferred upon him : at his retirement, the fellows, as a
testimony of the sense which they had entertained of his
eminent services, hung up a portrait of the ex-president in
their hall, a mark of dis'.iuction never previously bestowed
on any member whatsoever. Sir Alexander m. 1st, in 1736,

This family is of very great antiquity in North Britain.
According to Camden, the Cunnynghames came originally
into Scotland from England, with King Malcolm Canmobe ;
and he is probably correct, for we find them settled in
the shire of Ayr very soon after the time of that monarch.
Frederick Van Bussan, a learned Norwegian, who wrote
an account of several Scottish families, says, that one
Malcolm, son of Freskin, assisted Malcolm, prince of
Scotland (afterwards King Malcolm Canmore), to make
his escape from the tyranny of Macbeth, who had mui--
dered his father Duncan ; and being hotly pursued, he
ook shelter in a barn, where Malcolm concealed the prince,
by forking straw over him. The prince eventually made
his escape into England, still attended by his faithful
Malcolm. Prince Malcolm was no sooner in possession of
his kingdom, after his victory over Macbeth, than he
rewarded his preserver by the thanedom of Cunnynghame,
from which his posterity assumed their surnames, and
took a sheaf-fork for theu- arms, with " Over fork over
for their motto.

Sir Frederick was appointed secretary to the goverji-
ment of India in 1842, and accompanied Lord Har-
diuge in the campaign of 1845-6. The governor-
general, in his dispatch to the Secret Committee,
dated, Camp, Ferozepore, 31 Dec. 1845, writes — "I
owe great obligations to the chief-secretary to the
Government, Frederick Currie, Esq., who has, during
293
C U R
all the various and sometimes conflicting duties in
which I have been engaged, given me his sound
advice and active aid, sometimes accompanying me
in the field, and at all times evincing the coolest
judgment, and exhibiting the resources of his expe-
rience to the great advantage of the Company's
service." Sir Frederick's services are again acknow-
ledged in the general order, in Feb. 1846; and he
was afterwards deputed to conduct the Maharajah
Dhuleep Singh in state to his palace in the citadel of
Lahore, and to arrange the treaty of Umritsir. He
was appointed member of the Supreme Council of
India in Nov. 1846, and created a Baronet, 17 Dec.
following. He is at present a member of the Indian
Council.
One of the earliest Scottish charters, dated 1179 — a giftof
lands in Kjde, co. Ayr, to the Alibey of Melros — bears the
seal of Peter de Currie. The names of his descendants appear
eonspicuously in various events of early Scottish history.
About 1500, the elder branch of Currie of that ilk (Currie
or Corrie-Aiinandale) merged in the Johustones, by the
marriage of the heiress of Currie, with James Johnstone,
Esq, ; but a branch was settled to the east of their
primitive possessions in Ayr and Dumfriesshire, near
Dunse, Berwickshire, where the earliest local records now
remaining mention Wiluam Currie, possessed of lands
called "Currie Parks," living lOO'.i. This William had two
sons, Cuthbert, who »i. Elizabeth Little, and d. s. p. 1663 ;

Dacre, Baron (Thomas-Crosbie-William Trevor),
lord-lieut. of Essex; b. in 1808 ; m. 12 Jan. 1837,
Susan-Sophia, eldest dau. of Charles - Compton,
1st Lord Chesh.am. He s. his father, 2 June, 1853,
as 22nd Baron Dacre, and represents a branch of the
eminent house ofVAUX (sfcBuRKE'.s Extinct Peer cKje).
He is also co-heir to the Barony of Fitzhugh. His
lordship (then the Hon. T.-C. Brand) was, by royal
licence dated 12 April, 1851. authorised to take the
surname of Trevor only, and to bear the arms of
Trevor.
Eiitcajie.
The Barony of Dacre was originally in the family of Vaux,
whereof three brothers settled in England, at the Conquest,
viz., Hubert, Ranulph, and Robert. Of these,
Hubert had the barony of Gillesland granted to him by
his kinsman, Ranulph de Mesohines, on whom William
had conferred the whole co. of Cumberland. This Hubert
was i. by his son,
Robert de Vallibus, who founded the prioi-y of Pentney,
in Normandy, and the abbey of Lanercost, in Cumberland,
and was sheriff of Cumberland and governor of Carhsle,
temp. Henry II, This Robert was not only a person of
great valour, but also well learned in the laws of the land,
and went justice-itinerant into Cv'mberland in the 24th
year of the same monarch. Djing w thout issue, the feudal
barony devolved uijon his brother,
Ranulph de Vallibus, or Vaux, wuose great-granddau.
and heir,
Maud, ra. Thomas de Moulton, terap. Henry III., and
conveyed the barony of Gillesland to the family of her
husband. The great-grandson of this marriage,
Thomas de Moulton, was summoned to parliament in
the reigns of Edward I. and Edward II. He left at his
decease an only dau. and heir,
Margaret de Moulton, who married
R/VNULPH DE Dacre, one of the most distinguished
persons in those parts, as well on account of his valour as a
soldier, as his illustrious birth, being descended from
William de Dacre, sheriff of Cumberland and goveraor of
Ca^U.sle, In the reign of Henry III. He was summoned to
parliament, in right of his wife, from 15 May (14 Edw. II.),
1321, to 15 Nov. (12 Edw. III.), 1338, in which latter year
he died, and was s. by his eldest son,
William, 2nd Baron Dacre, who was s. by his brother,
Ranulph, 3rd Baron Dacre, who was likewise s. by a
brother,
Hdoh, 4th Baron Dacre. This noblemnn m. Ela, dau. of
Sir xVlexander Maxwell, Lord of Caerlaverock ; and dying in
the 7th of Richard II., was s. by his son,
William, 6th baron; who ra. Joan, dau. of James, 1st
Earl Douglas, and was s. by his son,
Thomas, 6th baron, summoned to parliament from 1 Dec.
(14 Henry IV.) 1412, to 26 May (33 Henry VI.), 1455, as
T/iomas, Lord Dacre, of Cfillesland. This nobleman, who was
chief forester of Inglewood, in Cumberland, m. Philippa.
dau. of Ralph Nevil, Earl of Westmoreland, and had issue,
Thomas, Ranulph, Humphrey, and Joan. Thomas, the
eldest son, m. Elizabeth, dau. and heir of Richard Bowes,
and djang before his father, left an only dau. and heir,
Joane ; which
Joane Dacre s. her grandfather in 1547 ; and manying
Sir Richard Fienes, carried the barony into that family.
Sir Richard was summoned to parliament from 9 Oct.
(38 Henry VI.) 1459, to 15 Nov. (22 Edward IV.) 1482.
He was constable of the Tower of Loudon, lord-chamberlaiu
to the queen-consort of Edward IV., and a privy-councillor.
His lordship and his lady had gi-eat contests and dispute
D A C
D A C
with Sir Humphrey Dacre, her hidyship's uncle, and the
male heir of the family, concemmg the lurdships, manors,
&c., of the late lord, which Utigation was finally adjusted
by the arbitration of Edward IV. That monarch, after
hearing the cause, confirmed to Sir Richard and the Lady
Joaue, the same place and precedence that her grandfather
had and enjoyed ; and also decreed to them certain lord-
ships in Lancashire and Lincolnshire ; but Gillesland, tlie
ancient and capital seat of the Va uxts, and of all the barons
their descendants, was adjudged, tdgether with the best of
the estates in Cumberland, to Sir Humphrey Dacre. It was
provided, however, in case of failure of heirs male of Sir
Humphrey, that the whole estate should go to Lady Joane
and her heirs. At the same time. Sir Humphrey Dacre was
created Lord Dacre, of Gilleslanil, with place next beneath
Sir Richard Fienes (who was simply styled Lord Dacre)
and his lad}'. Sir Richard's descendants were distinguished
as Lords Dacre of the South, and those of Sir Humphrey,
Lords Dacre of the North. (For details, see Burke's Extinct
Peerage.) Sir Richard Fienes, Lord Dacre, d. in 1484, and
was ,<!. by his grandson,
Thomas, 8th Baron Dacre (son of Sir Thomas Fienes and
his wife, Alice, eldest dau. and co-heir of Henry, Lord Fitz
Hugh). This nobleman was made a knight of the Bath at
the creation of Heui-y, 2nd son of Henry VII., Duke of
York. His lordship in. Anne, dau. of Sir Humphrey Bour-
«liier, son of John Bourchier, Lord Berners ; and dying in
1 534, was s. by his grandson,
Thomas, 9th baron (son of Sir Thomas Fienes, by Jane,
dau. of Edward Sutton, Lord Dudley). This nobleman was
high in favour at the court of Henry VIII. ; but going,
with other young men, one night, from Hurstmonceux, to
steal a deer out of his neighbour Sir Nicholas Pelham's park
(a frolic not unusual in those days), a fray ensued between
some of his party and the park-keepers, in which one of
the latter received an unlucky blow, that caused his death
in a few d.ays afterwards; and although Lord Dacre wcs
not himself present on the spot, but in a distant part of the
park, he was nevertheless tried, convicted, and executed
for the murder, in 1.541, when his honours became forfeited.
In 1562, however, those honours were restored to his son and
hen- (by Mary, dau. of George Nevill, Lord Abergavenry).
Gregory Fienes, as 10th baron ; who was suminoned'to
parhament in 1573. This nobleman d. in 1594, without
issue, when his sister,
Margaret, the wife of Sampson Lennard, Esq., claimed
the barony, and was allowed it in 1004. Her ladyship d,
in 1611, and was s. by her eldest son,
Henry Lennard, as 12th Lord Dacre ; who »i, C'hviso-
gona, dau. of Su- Richard Baker, of Sissenhurst, in Kent ;
and dying in 1616, was «. by his only son,
Richard Lennard, l.Sth Lord Dacre. This uoblciunn
rebuilt his seat at Chevening, after a plan of Inigo Jones.
His lordship m. 1st, EUzabeth, dau. and co-heir of Sir
Arthur Throckmorton, of Pauler's Perry, co. Northampton,
by whom he had (with other issue),
I. Francis, his successor.
He TO. 2ndly, Dorothy, dau. of DucUey, Lord North, and by
her had a son,
II. Richard, who had the manor of Horsford, in Norfolk, set-
tled upon him by his father; and he subsequently assumed
the name of Barrett, in consequence of the bequest of Sir
Edward Barrett, Lord Newburgh, to him, of the manor of
Belhouse, and other lands in Essex. He )h. Anne, dau and
heiress of Sir Robert Loftus, Knt., and grandclau.'of Adam
Viscount Loftus, of Ely, lord chancellor of Ireland, and was

Richard, of whom hereafter, as husband of his cousin
Lady Anne Lennard, Baroness Dacre. '
Richard, 13th Lord Dacre, d. 18 Aug. 1630, and was s. by
his eldest son,

wars, took the side of the parliament, but opposed the pro-
ceedings against the king personally. His lordship m

reign of Charles I., laid claim to Gillesland, and the rest

consented to compromise with the Howard family, then' in
possession, yet he recovered Dacre and cUvers other manors
in Cumberland and Westmoreland. Ho rf. in 1662 (liis widow,

extravagance, to dispose of his seat at Hurstmonceux, and
his lands in Sussex. His lordship m. Lady Anne Palmer,
dau. of Barbara, Duchess of Cleveland ; but d. in 1715,

wore a large, flapping, drab beaver hat, with a cloth habit
nearly trailing the ground. At home, her ladyship evinced an
eccentric affection for her deceased lord; his chair was placed,
as in his lifetime, at the dinner table, and its vacancy seemed to

and Navar, in the co. of Forfar, in the peerage of the

Royal Military Asylum, and a Governor of the

cousin in the Scottish honors 19 Dec. 1860; m.
4 April, 1831, Montagu, eldest dau. of Georgre, 2nd
Lord Abercromby, which lady d. s. x). 11 Nov.
1853. The Earl of Dalhousie, after filling the
offices of Undei'-Secretary of State, from 1835 to
1841, and Vice President of the Board of Trade, in
1811, was Secretary of State for the War Depart-
ment from 1816 to 1852, and again Secretary at
War from 1855 to 1858. He reassnmed, in 1861,
the surname of Ramsay after that of Maule.
This noble family, which is said to be of German descent,
has been of note iuNorth Britain since the time of Davcd I,
At that period (a.d. 1140) we find
Simon de Ramsay, of Dalhousie, in Lothian, a subscribing
witness to a grant of the church of Livingston, in West
Lothian. From this Simon descended
Sir Alexander Ramsay, Knt. of Dalhousie, the cele-
brated warden of the Middle Marches, and, in 1332, con-
stable of the castle of Roxburgh, which he had taken by
escalade. This gallant soldier acquired so high a reputation
in his conflicts with the English, that to be of his band
was considered as a branch of military education requisite
for all young gentlemen who ambitioued to excel in arms
He perished, a.d. 1342, by famine, in the castle of Her-
mitage. It is reported, that above the place of Ramsay's
confinement, there lay a heap of corn ; and that, with some
grain which dropped thrcugh the crevices in the floor, he
sustained a miserable existence for seventeen days. From
Sir Alexander we pass to his lineal descendant,
James Ramsay, who left at his decease, about the year
1580. two sons, viz.,
George.
John (Sir), who, for his loyalty and valour in rescuing
James VI. ft'om the Earl of Gowrie and his brother Alex-
ander Euthven, at Perth, 5 Aug. IG0'\ was created Lord
Ramsay, of Barns, and Viscount Haddington. He was
subsequently advanced to the dignity of Earl of Holder-
nesse, in the peerage of England. His lordship m. twice, but
leaving no issue at his decease, in 1635, his honours expired.

ILtnragc.
The family of Dallas is of great antiquity in the counties
of Elgin and Xairn, and derives its name from tlie locality
which was the original settlement of the clan. Dallas is a
parish of Elginshire, in the presbytery of Forres, and synod
of Moray. The name is composed of two Gaelic words —
dale, a valley or plain, and uU. contracted from uisge,
water; {vide Statistical Account of Slginshire, p. 195.
Blackwood and Sons, 1842). The barony of DaUas, contain-
ing the remains of the castle of Dallas or Torcastle, has
- long been the property of the Cummuigs of Altyre. The
branch of the family of Dallas, from which the present
Baronet is descended, removed to C'antray, in the parish of
Cawder, presbytery of Maim, and synod of Moray, in the
2nd year of Kmg Robert III. (1400), and remained in pos-
session of that barony for nearly 400 years, until the estate
was alienated by sale to the family of Davidson.
James Dallas, Laird of C'antray, was kiUed at Culloden ;
and soon after that event, some of his clan emigrated to
the West Indies and the United States of America, where
they formed establishments, to which, in memory of their
Highland home and ancestry, they gave the same territorial
designation, Dallas Castle is an estate of considerable im-
portance in the island of Jamaica, and the county of Dallas
is an extensive district in the state of Alabama. The state
of Pennsylvania has sent, as its representative, to the senate
of the United States, the Hon. George Dallas, vice-president
of that distinguished assembly, and one of the most eminent
jm'ists of his country.

waiTant in 1861 to the rank of an earl's daus.

Etitrasc.
The origin of the family of Stewart, after having been by
Scottish genealogists deduced from a fabulous antiquity,
seems to have been more satisfactorily ascertained by
Chalmers. According to that learned antiquary, the
Stewarts are descended from Flaald, or Flathard, a Noraian
who followed the Conqueror to England, and obtained in
gift the castle of Oswestry, in Shropshire. Alan m. the
dau. and heiress of Warine sheriff of Shi-o"pshire, temp, the
Conqueror, and had in her right the barony of the same
Warine. They had three sous, I. William, from whom
deduce the noble family of Norfolk; ii. Walter, High
Steward of Scotland; and in. Simon, the progenitor of the
DAL
DAN
Earls of Erroll. Walter (grandson of the said Waltee), 3rd
high steward, died 1246, leaving by his wife, Beatrix, dau.
of Gilchrist, commonly designated Earl of Angus, Alex-
ander, his successor ; John, killed at the siege of Damietta,
in the second crusade (1249); Walter, of whom hereafter,
and other issue. The last-named Walter m. the 2nd dau.
of Mauritius, Earl of Menteth, and after a pro*-racted suit
with Walter Cumyn and his son William, was awarded the
earldom, by a decree of a pai-lianient held at Scone, 1285.
Walter, Earl of Menteth, bj' his countess liad two sons (who
assumed the surname of Menteth, but the family retained
the paternal coat of Stewart, altering the fesse clicquy
to a bend, for difference),
Alexander, Earl of Menteth.
Sir John Menteth.
The elder son, Alexander, had two sons,
I. Alan, 7th Earl of Menteth (li'^i"S 1296), whose dau. and
heiress m. Sir John Graham (beheaded 1346), and had a
dau., Margaret, who vi. Robekt Stewakt, Dulie of Albany.
II. John.
From John lineally descended
Sir WiLLTAM Menteth, of West Kerse, who m. and had
issue,
1. Wilham. ii. Alexander, of Lochend.
By the extinction of the elder branch, the representation
devolved, through John Menteth (who m. Marjory, dau.
and heiress of John de StriveUng, sheriff of Clackmannan,
Lord of Carse, of Stirling, and Alveth, with whom he
acquired those lands and that heritable office), on the
Menteths of Lochend. Alexander had a son, Alexander,
who had a son, William, who had two sons, Alexander and
James. Alexander's representatives failed in his grandson,
James Menteth, of Milnhall. James Menteth, the brother
of Alexander, had a son, James, who was father of James
Menteth, of Auldcathie, whose eldest sou,
James Menteth, m. Magdalen Dalyell, heiress of Binns,
commonly called The Lady Binns. Magdalen was eldest
dau. and heiress-of-entail of Sir Thomas DalyeU, Bart., and
Katharine Drummond, of Riccartoun. He was son of the
celebrated cavalier general.
I. Thomas Dalyell, Dalzell, or Dalziell, who was a
major-general at Worcester, and commander-in-chief of the
forces in Scotland after the Restoration. He raised the
Scots Greys and another regiment ; and during the Com-
monwealth his estate of Binns was forfeited, and he and
General Gordon served the Czar against the Turks. 8ir
Thomas was created a Baronet, with limitations to his
heirs-of-entail. Sir Thomas was s. at his decease by his
son,
II. Sir Thomas, at whose decease, unm , the baronetcy
and fortune lievolved upon the son of his sister, Magdalene,
which son then became,

The Barony of De Clifford having fallen into abey-
ance, 30 Sept. 1832, the crown, in 1833, was pleased
to terminate the same in favour of Sophia, present
baroness.
William, 2nd son of Richard, 4th Dute of Normandy,
sumamed Ponce, or Poncius, was Sari of Arqaes mid
Tholome, and came into England with his victorious
nephew, Duke William. He had three sons, Walter,
Drew, and Richard. Of the eldest, little is known ; from
the second, viz., Drew, descend the families of Di-ew, of The
Grange, co. Devon, and of MocoUop Castle, co. AVaterford.
{See Drew pedigi-ee, registered in the College of Ai-ms,
Dublin, and also Bdrke's Landed Gentry.) The youngest
son of the Earl of Arques,
Richard Fitz-Pontz, m. Maud, dau. of Ralph de Toney,
of Cliflford Castle, co. Hereford ; and their eldest son,
AV ALTER, assumed, upon inheriting Clifford Castle, the
surname of Clifford. From this Walter descended a race
of powerful feudal barons, which we pass over to arrive at
Robert de Clifford, commonly called 1st Lord de Clif-
ford, being summoned as such to parliament, 29 Dec. 1299,
and the first of the family so dignified. His lordship was
son of Roger de Clifford, a distmguished soldier in the
reigns of Hejtrt III. and Edward I., who fell in the
Welsh wars, on St. Leonard's day, 1283. This Roger la.
Isabel, eldest dau. and co-heir of Robert de Vipont, Lord
of Westmorland, and in her right, held Bi-ougham Castle,
in that coimty, part of which he built, and part rej^aired,
causing the words, " This made Roger," to be out out in
stone, over the portal of the inward gate. Robert, the 1st
baron aforesaid, was eai-1-marshal of England, m 1307. He
fell at the battle of Bannockburn, 25 June, 1311, and was s.
by his son (by Maud, dau. and co-heir of Thomas de Clare),
Roger, 2nd baron, summoned to parliament in 1319. This
nobleman was sheriff of Westmorland, and was beheaded at
York, in 1327, with Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, leaving no
issue. His brother,
Robert, s. as 3rd baron, and was direct ancestor of
George, 3rd Earl of Cumberland, and 13th Baron de
Clifford ; who m. Lady Max'garet Russell, youngest child of
Francis, 2nd Earl of Bedford, by whom he had an only dau. ,
I. Anne, who m. 1st, 25 Feb. 1608-9, Richard Sackville, Lord
Buekhurst, afterwards Earl of Dorset, and had surviving issue,
1 Margaret, m. to John Tufton, 5th Earl of Thanet, and
left a son, Thomas, 6th Earl of Thanet, of whom pre-
sently, as Baron Clifford.
2 Isabella, m. in 1647, to James Compton, Earl of North-
ampton.
The Earl of Dorset d. 28 March, 1624, and his widow ii>. in
1630, Philip Herbert, Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery,
whom she also outlived.
His lordship d. 29 Oct. 1605, when the earldom of Cumber-
land devolved upon his brother,
Francis, as 4th earl ; who d. in 1640, and was «. by his
only son,

only dau. of Robert, Earl of Salisbury, and had an only dau.
and heir, Elizabeth, in. to Richard Boyle, 2nd Earl of Cork.
Henry, Earl of Cumberland, d. in 1643, when that dignity
EXPIRED.
Upon the decease of her father, George, 3rd Earl of Cum-
berland, a great contest arose between the Countess of
Dorset and her imcle Francis, 4th earl, regarding the
Barony of Skypton, which endured for no less a period than
thirty-eight years, and finally terminated in the lady's
favotu-, by her outliving both the Earls of Cumberland. In
1617, the king undertook to adjust this acrimonious family
contest, and made an award ; but her ladyship^ although
urged by her then husband, the Earl of Dorset, refused to
abide by it. Her ladyship claimed the Barony of Clifton,
in 1628, but accomplished nothing therein ; she d. in 1675,
and the barony remained dormant mitil 12 Dec. 1691, when
the House of Lords allowed it to her grandson,
Thomas Tufton, 6th Earl of Thanet, as 15th baron. His

abeyance between his daus., and so continued until 13 Aug.
1734, when the crown interfered in favom- of the third,
Margaret, Counte.ss of Leicester,at who.se decease, s. p., in

panied the CoNQUEKOR to England, two carucats of land in
Heton and Echilstone (Hocton and Eccleston) Testa de Nevill,
816. Of the iss\ie of this marriage was Willus de Hocton,
who (5th of King Stephen) gave ten marks of gold that he
might have to wife the widow of Geoffry de Favare, with her
land and the custody of her son till he might be knighted, and
that afterwards he might hold the said land of the said William.

?g0ti^t of jLa ©Karr.
The first of this family upon record,
John la Wabk, had a ratification, in the 8th of John, of a
grant which that king had made, prior to his coming to the
throne, of the lordship of Bristolton (a member of the honour
of Gloucester), to hold by the service of half a knight's fee.
He d. in six years afterwards, and was s. by his son,
Jordan la Warr, who then paid two hundred pounds for
livery of his lands. This feudal lord was in arms against King
John, but on paying a fine, with two palfreys, was re-admitted
into favour. Nevertheless, we find him again fighting under
the baronial standard, and again making his peace after the
battle of Evesham. He was s. by
John la Warr, who was sheriff of Herefordshire ia the 3i'd
Edward I., and was ,f. by
Roger la Warr, who in the reigns of Edward I. and
Edward II., having had military summonses to attend the
king in the wars of France, and being actively engaged in
those as well as the Scottish wars, was summoned to parlia-
ment, as a Baron, from 6 Feh. 1299, to 16 June, 1311. His
lordship m. Clarice, dau. and co-heir of John de Tregoz, Baron
Tregoz; and dying in 1329, was s. by his son,
John la Warr, 2nd baron, summoned to parliament from
26 Aug. 1307, to 26 Feb. 1347. This nobleman, in the 26
Edward I., his father still living, was in the expedition then
made into Flanders, and the next year he was in the wai-s of
Scotland. In the 29th of the same reign, on the decease of his
mother, Clarice, he irrherited a moiety of the property of his
grandfather, Lord Ti'egoz (to which barony he was co-heir,
and for an account of which see Burke's Dormant and
Extinct Peerage] ; viz., Ewyas-Harold, co. Hereford; Alyngton,
AVilts ; and other lands in the cos. of Somerset, Salop, and North-
ampton. After this, during the remainder of the reign of
Edward L, he was constantly engaged in the wars of Scot-
land, and was made a knight of the Bath. In the 14th
JiDWARD III., his lordship was in the great sea-fight off Sluy ;
in the 16th, he was in the expedition to France, assisting at
the siege of Nantes ; and in the 20th, he was in the van of the
Black Prince at the glorious battle of Crect. His lordship
lit. Joan, sister and heir of Thomas de Gresley, Baron Gresley,
whose chief seat was at Manchester, co. Lancaster ; by which
lady he acquired the great possessions of the Gresleys, and
had a son,
I. John, who predeceased his father, leaving by his wife
Margaret, dau. of Sir John de Holland,
1 Roger, who s. his grandfather, as 3rd baron.
2 John (Sir), of Bokampton, in Berks, which he held by
sergeantry, in keeping the king's dogs, called harriers,
when he should come into those parts. Sir John was in
the wars of Brittany ; and dying in the 34th Edward III.
.■!. p. left his estates to his brother.

Bravbrooke, and had issue,

Sir Thomas Latimer, > successively b.arons.
Edward Latimer, '
Catherine Latimer, m. to Thomas Griffin, and had a
son, John Griffin, whose descendant,
Edward Griffin, was createdBARON Griffin of Brav-
brooke.
His lordship d. in 1347, and was s. by his grandson.
Sir Roger la Warr, 3rd baron; summoned to parliament
from 14 Aug. 1362, to 1 June, 1363. This nobleman, in the
30th Edward 111., shared in the glory of Poictiers, wherein the
French King with the Dauphin were made prisoners. Touch-
ing the capture of the King of Fi-ance, it is recorded that much
contention took place, as he defended himself with great
valour; and the pressure upon him becoming great, such as
knew him cried out "Sir, surrender, or you are dead;" where-
upon he yielded, according to Froissart, to Sir Dennis Morbeck,
a knight of Artois, in the English service; but being forced
from that captain, more than ten knights and esquires claimed
the honour of taking the royal prisoner. Amongst these, the
pretensions of Sir Roger La Warr and Sir John Pelham (ances-
tor of the Pelhams, Dukes of Newcastle, and of the Lords
Yarborough and Pelham) having been acknowledged the
strongest. Lord Delawarr had, in commemoration of so valiant
an exploit, the crampet, or chape, of the captive prince's
sword ; and Sir John Pelham had the buckle of a belt as a
memento of the same achievement. His lordship continued for
several years after Poictiers in the French wars, and acquired
greater renown in every subsequent campaign. He m. 1st,
Elizabeth, dau. of Adam, Lord Welles, and had issue, John and
Thomas, successively Barons Delawarr. His lordship m. 2ndly,
Alianore, dau. of John, Lord Mowbray, and had an only dau.,
Joanna, who rn. Sir Thomas West, 3rd Baron West, and had
issue, Thomas, Lord West, who d. s. p.; and Reginald (Sir),
summoned to parliament, jure mcitris, as Baron Delawarr.
Lord Delawarr d. in 1370, and was .«. by his eldest son,
John la Warr, 4th baron, summoned to parliament from
8 Jan. 1370, to 5 Nov. 1397. This nobleman, before and after
his father's decease, was in the wars of Gascony with Prince
Edward. In the 22nd of Richard II., his lordship obtained
a special dispensation exempting him from attending any future
parliaments, or serving the king in his wars, or otherwise,
against his own good will. Shortly after which he departed
this life, anno 1398, and dying uma., was s by his brother,
Thomas la Warr, 5th baron, who being a priest, and rector
of the church of Manchester, was summoned to parliament
from 10 Aug. 1399, to 7 Jan. 1420, as " Magistro Thoma? de la
Warre." In the 9th Henry V., his lordship obtained license
for making the parish church of Manchester collegiate; to con-
sist of a warden and a certain number of priests, to celebrate
divine service continually, for the good estate of Henry V., and
of him, the said Thomas, during this life, and afterwards for
the health of their souls. He d. in 1426, when the Barony of
Delawarr devolved upon his half-sister's son. Sir Reginald
West, Lord West, as in the above accoimt of the Wests.

DEM
of Col. Sidney, and great-niece of tlie last Earl of Leicester (.^ee
Bvrke's Extinct and Dormant Peerage) of the Sidney family,
hy whom he had (with junior issue),
John, who assumed the additional surname and arms of
Sidney upon inheriting the Penshurst estates, and being
created a Baronet as above, was the late
Sir John Shelley-Sidney, heir and representative, by
maternal descent, of the Beaumonts and Beauchamps, ancient
Earls of Warwick; the Dudleys and Sidneys, Earls of Leicester;
and claimant of the Baronies of De L'Isle and Izes. This
family can establish legitimate descent from the Conqueror.
Gundred, the youngest dau. of that monarch, rn. to William de
AVarren, 1st Earl of Warren and Surrey; and the granddau. of
that marriage, Gundred, m. to Eoger de Beaumont, ind Earl of
Warwick, the baronet's direct ancestor. The Sidneys, who are
of Norman extraction, lineally descended from Sir William
Sidney, Knt., chamberlain to King Henry II. Sir William
Sidney, to whom Penshurst Place was granted by King
Edward VI., was chamberlain and steward of the household to
King Hen-rt VIII., and was one of the commanders at the
battle of Flodden, in 1515. His son. Sir Henry Sidney, was
honoured with the confidence and friendship of Edward VI.,
and was lord-president of Wales and lord-deputy of Ireland in
the reign of Elizabeth. " A more exalted character than that
of Sir Henry Sidney," observes Dr. Zouch, "is scarcely to be
found in the volume of history. It deserves to be better
known. In him we behold the brave soldier; the consummate
general, the able counsellor, the wise legislator; while in tlie
recesses of private life he was no less estimable as a husband, a
father, and a friend : firmly attached to the church of England,
and adorning his christian profession by his temperance and
exemplary piety." He was father of the all-accomplished Sir
Philip Sidney, whom Camden describes as " the great glory of
liis family, the great hope of manlcind, the most lively pattern
of virtue, and the glory of the world." Sir Henry Sidney's 2nd
son,
PiOBERT Sidney, was created successively, by James I., Baron
Sidney of Penshurst, Vifcuunt L'Isle and Earl of Leicester,
and was s. by his son,
Robert, 2nd Earl of Leicester. This nobleman was father
(lie liad four other sons) of the celebrated Algernon Sidney, and
of Henry Sidney, created Earl of Eomney, and of Dorothy,
Countess of Sunderland, the poet Waller's Sacharissa, who,
after her husband, Henry Spencer, 1st Earl of Sunderland,
was slain at the battle of Newberry, 1643, m. 2ndly, Robt.

leaving four sons, three of wliom enjoyed the earldom primo-
geniturely, viz.,

account of her misconduct, but from whom lie was not

* By a trial at bar on a writ of right, at Westminster,
11 Feb. 1782, for Pen-<hurst Place, park, and premi.ses, in
the county of Kent, it ajipears that this Jocelyne, Eai'l of
Leicester, never was divurceil fi-om his wife, the said Eliza-
beth Thomas, and that she had a child, a son, John Sj'dney,
the demandant at the trial aforesaid, which John, there-
fore, in the ej'e of the law, was to bo considered a legitimate
person, and, as such, well entitled to the inheritance of the
honours of the fumil}', b\it in respect to the inheritance of
the estates demanded by him, he failed tn establish abetter
right than the tenant in possession. This (according t.j the
statement at the trial) arose from his averment that his
father. Earl Jocelyne, possessed thereof in fee, and not as
tenant for life, which was tlie fact, as opened by the tenant ;
and fvirther contended that, even had he possessed thereof
in fee, then by his will the earl had given them away to a
third party. The event of this trial going to admit the
legitiraacy'of the demandant embraces an important ques-
ti'in as to the absolute extinction of the honours. — Banks.

The earl, who as Count of Hapsburg, &c., is a Count of

June, 1865.
This family which claims descent from the Counts of Ilaps-
burgh, settled in England in the reign of Henry III. ; and the
occasion of its so settling is explained in an ancient manuscript,
written about King Edward IV.'s time, wherein it appears,
that Geffery, Count of Hapsburgh,* having been reduced to
great poverty by the oppression of Eodolph, Emperor of Ger-
many, one of his sons.
Sir Geffery, served Henry III. in his wars in England, and
assumed the surname of Fieldeng, or Filding, from his father's
pretensions to the dominions of Lauffenbourg and Rinfilding ;
and it also appears that the English monarch, compassionating
the said Geffery, gave him considerable support in rents and
fees, lying in divers places. His son,
Geffery Feilding, m. Agnes, dau. and heir of John de
* In the year 1026, Radboton, grandson of Gontram the Rich
Count of Brisgau, founded the house of the Counts of Haps-
burgh, which derived its name from the castle of Hapsburgh,
built by Werner, bishop of Strasburg, upon the river Aar, in the
canton of Berne. The princely line of Hapsburgh became
extinct in the person of Charles VI., after giving twenty-two
sovereigns to Austria, sixteen emperors to Germany, eleven
kings to Hungary and Bohemia, and six to Spain.

This gentleman was the only individual amongst the courtiers
who dared to apprize his royal master of his approaching dis-
solution. Henry had, however, so high an esteem for Sir
Anthony, that he could perform that sad office with impimity,
and the monarch presented him with a magnificent pair of
gloves worked in pearls, which still remain in the possession of
the family. Sir Anthony was appointed one of the King's
executors and one of the guardians of Edward VI., all of
whom were set aside, and their place supplied by Edward
Seymour, Duke of Somerset. The grandson of Sir Anthony
(the son of his eldest son. Sir Henry),
Sir Edward Denny, Knt,, was summoned to parliament, in
1604, as Baron Denny, and created, in 1626, Earl of Norwich.
The latter dignity became extinct at his decease, without male
issue, in 1630, while the barony devolved upon his only dau.
and heir, Honoria, wife of James, Earl of Carlisle, at the de-
cease of whose son, James Hay, Earl of Carlisle, in 1660, with-
out issue, it expired.

the year 1760 or 1761, the magnificent mansion of the Earl of
Arran being to be sold by auction in London, the management

arrangements for the sale, the gloves and scarf, with an old
parchment manuscript, in a purple satin bag, by which, upon
perusal, he was directed to the family to which they really
belonged ; and knowing how highly he should gratify his friend

II. Edward (Sir), of Hornby Oastle, Lancashire. This gallant
person commanded the rear of the English army at Flodden
Field, 9 Sept. 1513; and forcing the Scots, by the power of
his archers, to descend the hill, thus broke their line, and
insured the triumph of the English arms, for which good
service, Hbnrt VIII., keeping his Whitsuntide at Eltham
the next ensuing year, 1514, commanded that Sir Edward
Stanley, for those valiant acts against the Scots, where he
won the hill, and vanquished nil that opposed him, as also
that his ancestors bore the eagle in their crest, should be
there proclaimed Lard of Monteagle, and he had subse-
quently summons to parliament in that dignity. He was
also elected a knight of the Garter. His lordship's grandson,
William Stanley, 3rd Lord of Monteagle, (/. in 1581. leaving
by Ellen, his wife, dau. of Sir Thomas Preston, of Preston
Patrick and Levens, in Westmorland, an only dau., Eliza-
beth, who became his heir, and marrying Edward Parker,
Lord Morley, conveyed the Barony of Monteagle into that
family. The dignity is now in abeyance. {See Burke's
Extinct Peerage.)
III. James, In holy orders, bishop of Ely.
Lord Stanley »i. 2ndly, Margaret, dau, and heir of John, Duke
of Somerset, widow of Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond, and
mother of Henry, Earl of Richmond. How far his lordship
contributed to the victory of Bosworth is recorded in history ;
and his placing the crown of Richard upon the head of the
victorious Richmond in the field, is also a matter of historic
record. In consideration of those eminent services, the new
monarch advanced Lord Stanley, 27 Oct. 1485, to the dignity of
Earl of Derby, and constituted him one of the commissioners
for executing the office of lord-high-steward of England on the
day of his coronation. His lordship, in the March following,
had a grant of the great office of Constable of England for
life. He had no children by his second marriage ; and dying
in 1504, was s. by his grandson,
Thomas, 2nd earl; who m. Anne, dau. of Edward, Lord
Hastings of Himgerford, and was s. at his decease, in 1522
(when it appears he bore the titles of Earl of Derby, Viscount
Kynton, Lord Stanley and Strange, Lord of Knokyn, Mohun,
Basset, Bumal, and Lacy, Lord of Man and the Isles), by his son,
Edward, 3rd earl, K.G., lord-high-steward at the coronation
of Queen Mary, and chamberlain of Chester in the reign of
Elizabeth ; so celebrated for magnificence and liberality, that
Camden says, "that with Edward, Earl of Derby's death, the
glory of hospitality seemed to fall asleep." His lordship rf.
24 Oct. 1572, and was s. by his eldest* son (by his 1st wife,
Dorothy, dau. of Thomas, 2nd Duke of Norfolk),
Henry, 4th earl, K.G.; one of the peers who sat upon the
trial of Mary, Queen of Scots. His lordship hi. Margaret, only
child of Henry Clifford, Earl of Cvmiberland (by his 1st wife,
Alianore, dau. and co-heir of Charles Brandon, Duke of
Suffolk, and Mary, Dowager Queen of France, the sister of
Henry VIII.) , and dying in 1593, was s. by his eldest son,
Ferdinando, 5th earl. This nobleman having been tampered
with by one Hesketh, said to be an agent of the Jesuits, to
assume the title of king in right of his grandmother, and
rejecting the proposition indignantly, is supposed to have been
poisoned in consequence by the conspirators. His lordship m.
Alice, dau. of Sir John Spencer, of Althoi-p, and had three
daus., his co-heirs, viz.,
Anne, m. 1st, to Grey, 5th Lord Chandos; and 2ndly, to
Mervyn, Earl of Castlehaven.
Frances, m. to John, Earl of Bridgewater.
Elizabeth, m. to Henry, 5th Earl of Huntingdon.
His death occurred 16 April, 1594, when the Baronies of
Stanley and Strange fell into abeyance amongst his daus.,
and the earldom devolved upon his brother,
William, 6th earl, K.G. This noblgnian bought from his
nieces their claims on the Isle of Man. His lordship „i . 26 June,
1594, Elizabeth, eldest dau. of Edward Vcre, 17th Earl of
Oxford, and had, with four daus., two sons, James, his heir;
and Robert (Sir), Knt., who m. Elizabeth, dau. of Sir Arthur
Gorges, Knt., and had, with a dau., three sons, Charles (Sir),
of Chelsea, whose issue became extinct; James, whose suns
both (/.young; and Ferdinand, who d.in infancy. The carl
dying in 1642, was s. by his son,
James, 7th earl, K.G., Ij. 31 Jan. 1606; who had been sum-
moned to parliament, in 1627, as Baron Strange, under an
impression that such a barony was enjoyed by his father; that,
however, not being the case, the summons amounted to the
creation of a new jieerage, which eventually devolved upon the
ducal house of Atholl. His lordship was distinguished by his
devoted and heroic attachment to royalty during the civil
war. He, in his endeavour to rally the king's cau.se after the
battle of Worcester, fell into the hands of the enemy, and
suffered decai)itation, at Bolton, 15 Oct. 1651. He m.. Char-
lotte, aau. of Claude de la Tr(5mouille, Duke of Thouars (this
high-born and high-minded lady became famous for her gallant
defence of Latham House, in 1644, when it was besieged liy
2000 parliamentarians, and for her energetic protection of the
Isle of Man, in 1651 ; see her pedigr^n: infra*) and left issue,

m. in July, 1673, Lady Elizabeth Butler, dau. of Thomas, Earl
of Ossory, and </. without male issue, in 1702, when the honours
devolved upon his brother,
James, 10th earl ; who m. Mary, dau. and sole heir of Sir
William Morley, K.B., of Halnaker, but d. without issue, in
1735-6, when the Isle of Man, with the Barony of Strange,
created in 1627, devolved upon the Duke of Atholl, (all the
other baronies fell into abeyance between the co-heirs of
Ferdinando, the 5th earl,) and the Earldom of Derby reverted to
Sir Edward Stanley, Bart., as llth earl (refer to George,
Lord Strange, son of Thomas, 1st Earl of Derby). This noble-

This is one of the very few houses still e.'.isting in England
of undoubted Saxon origin; an origin confirmed not only
by tradition, but by authentic family documents. One of
its remote ancestors,
DiERiNG Miles (from the Saxon word Biering, signifying
Terror), appears as witness to a deed, by which King
Ethelufp granted certain lands in Cucolnstoue to the
church of Rochester in 880, and this Biering is said to be
descended in a direct line from Ethelwaed, King of Diera.
To pass, however, to more recent progenitors, we find
Sir Richard Dering, Knt. of Heyden, lieut. of Dover
Castle in the reign of Richard II. His grandson,
Richard Bering, Esq. of Surrendcn, d. in 1481, and was
s. by his son,
John Derino, Esq. of Surrenden-Dering. The 5th direct
descendant from this gentleman,
I. Sir Edward Bering, Knt. of Surrenden-Dering, was
created a Baronet. 1 Feb. 1626. This gentleman, who' was
heutenant of Dover Castle, was a man of talents and
learning ; but he adopted, upon one occasion, a very eccen-
tric mode of evincing his erudition, that of prcsenthig a
bill from the gallery of the Hou.se of Commons, "for the
extirpation of bishops, deans, and chapters," and prefacing
his motion with two verses of Ovid, the classical applica-
tion of which was said to have been his sole motive for the
proceeding.

Eiise recidendnni est, ne pars sincera trahatur."

' ' That Peter, the ancestor of this great and noble family,"
says Dugdale, "did originaUy assume his surname in the
time of Henry I., from that lordship in Holdcrness, called
Ros, where he then had his residence, ueeduth not to be
doubted." This Peter m. Adeline, one of the si.sters and co-

no posterity. Everard de Ros died about the year 11S6,
and was s. by his son,
Robert de Ros, surnamed Fur/an. This feudal lord, in

forced to pay a considerable sum for his deliverance. But,
under King John he regained the whole barony of his
great-grandfather, Walter lii^pec. and was soon after cm-
ployed as one of the commissioners to conduct William,
King of Scotland, into England. Robert de Ros was the

The Leicesters (or Letcesters, as formerly written) are
of very great antiquity in the co. Chester, and were pos-
333
sessed of land there in the time of King John. The village
of Nether Tabley, manor, and mansion, came to them with
Margaret Dutton, dau. of Jeffrey Dutton, of Duttou, co.
Chester, a.d. 1272, as appears in the Nistort/ and AntiquUiet
of Cheshire, by Sir Peter Leicester, Bart. " Jeffrey Dutt(jn
(says Sir Peter), son of Adam Dutton de Dutton, gave
Nether Tabley to his dau. Margaret, and her heirs, about
the end of the reign of Henry III. This Margaret first
married Robert de Denbigli, and had no issue ; afterwards
she married Nicholas de Leycester, by whom she had issue,
and to whose succeeding progCL-y the manor of Nether
Tabldy still belongeth. He was afterwards Sir Nicholas
Leycester, Knt., so styled in 1292, and was seneschal to
Henry Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, constable of Cheshire." He
was s. by his son, Roger, who was s. by his son,
Nicholas Leycester, who d. in 1349, leaving two sons,
I. John, his heir.
II. Ralph, who vi. Joan, dau. and heir of Robert Toft, of
Toft; and dying temp. Richard II., left three sons,
1 Robert, of Toft, ancestor of the Leycesters of Toft,
in Cheshire. (t:iee Bvh.KE's Landed Gentry.)

John.
The eldest son of Nicholas,
John Leycester, who served in the wars of France under
John of Gaunt, in 1373 and 13S0, built the old manor-hall
of Nether Tabley. He was father of
William Leycester, Esq. of Nether Tabley, the first that
we find styled De Tabley ; but tins may be in consequence
of the statute of additions passed in the 1st of Henry V. ;
for previously to the enactmcut of that law, few were
wi-itten either of the place, or within the title of esquire.
Certain it is, that this William lived at his manor-house of
Nether Tabley, wliich his father, John, had recently erected,
and which continues the seat of the family to the present
period. He m. twice, but had issue by his wife, Agnes,
sister of Sir John-Piers Dutton, Knt., only. He d. in 1428,
and was s. by his eldest son,

litiicntir.
This and the family of De Burgh, Marquesses and Earls
of Clauricarde, derive from a commou progeuitor; namely,
John, Earl of Comjni, and Baron of Tonsburgh, in Nor-
mandy, sou of Baldwin II., foiinder of the house of Blois,
in France. Prom the eldest son of this Earl .John, descended
the house of Clanricarde ; and from the younger,
Eustace de Bukgh, Baron of Tonsburgh, that of which,
we are now to treat. This Eustace had two sous, Charles
and John, both companions in arms of the Conqueror.
The elder son,
Charles, built the castle of Knaresborough, in Yorkshire,
and was s. by his brother,
John, who m Margaret, aunt of King Stephen, and was
s. by his eldest sou,
Eustace Fiiz-John, feudal lord of Knaresborough, who
m. Beati'ix, dau. and sole heir of Tvo de Vesci, by Alda, only
dau. and heir of Wilham Tysou, Lord of Alnwick, and was
s. by his elder sou,
William, who assumed the name and arms of Vesci,
and had a grant from Henry II., of Alnwick Castle. He
was sheriff of Northumberland during the greater part of
that reign, and was a principal commander in tlie battle
fought near Alnwick, wherein the Scottish army sustained
a signal overthrow. He m. Burga, dau. of Robert Stutevill,
Lord of Knaresborough, and had two sons, Eustace, his
successor, and ^Yarine, whose dau. Margaret in. Gilbert de
Aton, and their great grandson, Gilbeet de Aton, was de-
clared by an inquisition p. m. held at York S Edwakd II.
and by several other inquisitions p. in. heir of Lord de
Vesci, as mentioned infra. William de Vesci d. in 1184,
and was s. by his elder son,
Bustaoe de Vesci, one of the twenty-five barons ap-
pointed to enforce tlie observance of Magna Chakta. This
distinguished feudal lord m. Margaret, dau. of William,
King of Scotland ; and dying about 1216, was s. by his .son,
William de Vesci, wlio first m. Isabel, dau. of William
Longespee, Earl of Salisbury ; and 2ndly, Agnes, eldest dau.
of William Fen-ers, Earl of Derby ; and, in right of the
latter, had a share of those lands assigned to him in Ireland,
belonging to William Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke. He d.
in 125.3, and was s. by his eldest sou,
John de Vesci, who was summoned to parliament as
Baron Vesci, 2-1 Dec. 1261. His lordship d. s. p. in 1289,
and was s. by his brother,
William de Vesci, who was summoned to parliament in
129.5, and was one of the competitors for the crown of Scot-
land, temp. Edward I. This nobleman was justice in eyre
for all the royal forests beyond Trent, and one of the justices-
itinerant touching the pleas of the forest, governor of Scar-
borough Castle, and lord -justice of Ireland, where he was
Lord of Kildare. His lordship d. s. p. in 1297, when Gilbert
de Aton, Lord of Aton, in Yorkshire, was Tiy an inquisition
p. TO., held at York, S Edward II., and by several other
inquisitions p. ni., declared his heir. (Seegupra). The male
line of the family was continued by, it is said, a relative of
this William (his younger brother, according to Lodge's
Irish Peerage, but that is very questionable).
Thomas de Vesci, who settled in Newland, in Cumber-
land, where the family continued until his descendant,
William Vesey, having the misfortune to kill his antago-
nist in a duel, fled into Scotland, whence he removed to
Ireland in the reign of Queen Eliz.^beth. He m. a dau. of
the family of Ker of Cessford, and was s. by his only sun,
The Rev. Thomas Vesey, archdeacon of Armagh, whose
son and heir.
The Rev. John Vesey, D D., was consecrated archbishop
of Tuam. Tliis learned prelate, who was three times one of
the lords-justices of Ireland, left (with other children),
Thomas.

Burke's Extinct Peerage.)

I. Thomas Vesey, Esq., who was created a Baronet of
Ireland, 28 Sept. 1698. This gentleman, subsequently

Hugh, 2nd Earl of Dovon, d. in 1377, aud was s. by his
gi-andson,
Edward, 3rd Earl of Devon, commonly called The Blind
£arL This nobleman served to the beginning of the reign
of Richard II. as a naval officer, under John of Gaunt, and
Thomas of Woodstock, respectively; and was appointed, in
the 7th of the s.ame monarch, admiral of all the king's fleet,
from the mouth of the Thames westward. In the next year,
being tlieu Earl Marshal, his lordship was retained to
serve the king iu his Scottish wars. He m. Maud, dau. of
Thomas, Lord Camoys ; and dying 4 Dec. 1419, was a. by
his only surviving son,
Hugh, 4th Earl of Devon, K.B., who m. Anne, dau. of
Richard, Lord Talbot, and sister of the renowned Earl of
Shrewsbury ; and dying in 1422, was s. by his son,
Thomas, 5th Earl of Devon. This nobleman commenced
his military career at the age of sixteen, aud was engaged
for several years in the French wars of Henry VI., with
whom he sided on the breaking out of the unhappy conflict
between the houses of York and Lancaster; and the
Courtenays ever after adhered, with desperate fidelity, to
the Red Rose. In 144S, a dispute regarding precedency
arose between the Earls of Devon aud Arundel, which was
decided by parliament in favour of the latter lord, owing to
his feudal possession of Arundel Castle. The Earl of Devon
d. 3 Feb. 145S, in the Abbey of Abingdon, upon his route
to London, as a mediator, with other noblemen, between
the king and the Duke of York. He m. Lady Margaret
Beaufort, 2nd dau. of John, Marquess of Somerset, and was
s. by his eldest son,
Thomas, 6th Earl of Devon. This nobleman inheriting
the political principles, with the honours, of his deceased
father, was a strenuous upholder of the Lancastrian in-
terests, and falling iuto the hands of the Yorkists, at Tow-
ton Field, he was beheaded at York, by order of Edward
IV.,in April, 1402. His lordship was subsequently attainted,
and the honours of the house thus became eclipsed ; but his
next brother,
Hugh Courtenay (7th earl, but for the attainder), find-
ing favour with the new king, had restoration of some
part of the estates. Engaging, however, iu the Lancastrian
quarrel, with the zeal of his predecessors, he was himself
attainted, 4 Jlay, 1466, before the king and justices at
Sarum, and beheaded, with the Lord Hungerford, on the
same day.
(The greater part of the Courtenay estates having been
D E V
conferred upon Humphrey Stafford, Baron Stafford of
Southwioke, that nobleman was created Earl of Devon in
1469 ; but falling under the axe as a traitor, in the August
following, the dignity expired.)
Upon the demise of Hugh Courtenay, his only surviving
brother,
John Courtenay, assumed the Earldom of Devon, and
the Lancastrian interest prevailing in 1470, by the expulsion
of King Edward, his lordship was restored to the honours
aad possessions of his family by the parliament that re-
placed the crown upon the head of Henry VI. The subse-
quent defeat, however, of Richard Nevill, the stout Earl
of Warwick, at Barnet Field, H April, 1471, again placed
the fortunes of the house of Devon in jeopardy, and the
earl, joining Margaret of Anjou, fell sword in hand, at
Tewkesbury, 14 Jlay following, at the head of Margaret's
rear-guard. Thus the three brothers sealed with their
blood their bond of fidelity to the house of Lancaster, and
with them expired the senior branch of the ancient and
illustrious house of Courtenay. The last earl was buried at
Tewkesbury, and being attainted, the honours and estates
of Devon became again forfeited.
The branch being thus extinguished, we proceed to that
founded by
Sir Hugh Codrtenat, of Haccomb, brother of Edward,
3rd earl (revert to issue of Hugh, 2nd earl). This gentle-
man's only son.
Sir Hugh Courtenay, Kut., was of Boconnook, in Coi'u-
wall, andM.P. for that shire. He m. Margaret, dau. and
co-heir of Thomas Carminow (the last heir male of that
ancient family, whoso other dau. and co-heir was m. to Sir
Thomas Carew, of Mohuu's Ottery), and had issue,
I. Edward (Sir), his successor.
II. Walter (Sir), d. unm.
I. Maud, m. Sir John Arundell, of Tolverne.
II. Elizabeth, ?)i. to John Trethurffe, and had a son,
Thomas Trethurffe, who left two daus.,
Elizabeth, m. to John Vivian.
Margaret, hi. to Edward Courtenay, Esq. of Larrock.
II. Isabel, m. to William Mohun.
V. Florence, m. to John Trelawny.
Sir Hugh, faithful to the Red Rose, fell, with his noble kins-
man, the Earl of Devon, at Tewkesbury ; and his eldest son.
Sir Edward Courtenay, being involved with his brother,
in the conspiracy of Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham,
in favour of Henry, Earl of Richmond, was forced to fly
into Brittany upon the failure of the plot and the decapita-
tion of the duke. Participating, subsequently, in the vic-
tory of BoswoRTH, he was elevated to the peerage by
Henry VII. (26 Oct. 1485), as Earl of Devon, and he
obtained grants, at the same time, of the greater part of
the estates, manors, &a., which had belonged to the late
Thomas Courtenay, Earl of Devon. His lordship in. Eliza-
beth, dau of Sir Philip Courtenay, of Molland, and had an
only son,
William (Sir), K.B., who m. the Lady Katherine Planta-
genet, dau. of Edward IV. In the year 1602, Sir William
was arrested, with Lord WiUiam de la Pole, Sir James
Tyrrell, and Sir John Wyndham, and accused of holding
a traitorous correspondence with Edmvmd de la Pole,
Earl of Suffolk, then a refugee at the court of his airnt,
Margaret, Duchess of Burgundy; and he was attainted
in 1504. Tyrrell and Wyndham were beheaded on Tower-
hill, while Courtenay was doomed to incarceration during
the king's reign.
The earl d. in 1509, and Henry VIII. ascending the throne
in the same year, that monarch immediately released
Sir William Courtenay, and took him into favour ; but
he died iu three years afterwards, before he had either,
letters patent or a formal restoration of the earldom. He
was buried, however, ' with the honours of an earl," at the
especial command of ths king. By the Lady Catherine
Plantagenet he left an only son,
Edward Courtenay. who having been restored in blood
and honours, became 2ud Earl of Devon of the new
creation. In 1522, his lordship obtained a grant of Cale-
land, in Cornwall, and of a "fair mansion," situate iu the
parish of St. Lawrence Poultry, in the city of London,
forfeited by the attainder of Edward Stafford, Duke of
Buckingham ; and was advanced by letters patent, dated
18 June, 1525, to the dignity of Marquess of Exeter. For
some years this nobleman enjoyed the favour of the fickle
Henry, but he fell at length a victim to that monarch's
jealousy of the house of Pole. He was committed to the
Tower with Henry Pole, Lord Montacute, and Sir Edward
Nevill, for conspiring to place Reginald Pole, dean of
Exeter upon the throne, and was beheaded with Sir
337
D E V
Edward Nevill, 9 Jau. 1539. On tlie subsequent attainder
of the marquess all his honours expired, and the king
annexed to the Duchy of Cornwall the lands in that county,
wliich thus came to the crown. His lordship m. Ist, Eliza-
beth Grey, dau. and heir of John, Viscount Lisle, but by
that lady had no issue. He m. 2udly, Gertnide, dau. of
William Blount, Lord Mountjoy, by whom he left an only
child,
Edward Courtenay, who, though but twelve years of
age at the death of his father, was committed prisoner to
the Tower, and detained there dui-ing the remainder of
King Henry's reign, and that of Edward VI. ; but upon
the accession of Queen Mary he was released, and a patent,
dated at Richmond, 3 Sept. 1553, was issued, creating him
Earl or Devon. On tlie 10th October following, he was fully
restored in blood ; but as the attainder of his father was
never reversed, he did not succeed to the Earldom of
Devon, created in the 1st Henry VII., nor to the earldom
created in the 3rd Henry VIII., neither did he to the
Marquessate of Exeter. His lordship had some command
in suppressing Wyatt's rebellion, and yet was afterwards,
with the Princess Elizabeth, accused of being accessory
thereto, and sent with her highness to the Tower. He was
subsequently confined in Fotheringay Castle, bur released,
through the interposition of Philip of Spain, upon that
monarch's marriage with the queer ; the Lady Elizabeth
being liberated through the same influence. His lordship
after this, obtained the queen's permission to go abroad,
and d. at Padua, not without suspicion of poison 4 Oct.
1566. He d. unm., and his estates reverted to the issue ot
his great-aunts, and the four daus. of Sir Hugh Courtenay,
of Boconnock, and sisters of Edward, 1st earl. At his lord-
ship's decease, the earldom of Devon was considered to have
become extinct, and it remained dormant for no less than
two hundred and sixty -five years. It was, however, re-
established in another branch of the family, as heirs male
of the deceased lord (to which wc shall now proceed), by
the decision of parliament, 15 March ,1831. It is clear,
however, that the Courtenays themselves never once pre-
viously, thought of the earldom's being in existence, oi
they would not have accepted a baronetcy and a viscounty.
The existing bi'anch of the Courtenays was founded by
Sir Philip Courtenay, of Powderham Castle (refer to
issue of Hugh de Courtenay, 2nd of the original Earls of
Devon), who received the honour of knighthood from
Edward, the Black Prince, with his brothers, Hugh and
Peter, the day before the battle of Navaret, in Spain, and
was constituted in 13S3, lord-lieutenant of Ireland for ten
years. Sir Philip m. Anne, dau. of Sir Thomas Wake, by
whom he left three sons and two daus., and was s. at his
decease, in the 7th Henry IV., by his eldest son,
Richard Courtenay, Lord Bishop of Noi-wich. This
prelate was one of the ambassadors sent by Henry V. to
the King of France, to demand the crown of that kingdom,
as his right by descent, and to denounce war in the event
of non-compliance. He d. in 1415, and was s. in his estates
by his nephew.
Sir Philip Courtenay, Knt., who m. Elizabeth, dau. of
Walter, Lord Hungerford, and acquired by the alliance the
manor of MoUand Botreaux, in Devonshire. He had issue,
beside two daus., seven sons, viz.,
William, his successor.

Courtenay, Esq. of Molland; who d. in 1732, leaving a
sister and heir, who m. WiUiam Pastou, Esq., and had an

(Henry VII.), to make an effort for the crown, and aided
him in his subsequent proceedings.

tenays.

kingdom enjoyed by his posterity. Sir William ra. Eliza-

Etncagc.
The noble family of Cavendish, of which, in the last
century, two branches attained dukedoms, laid the founda-
tions of its greatness originally on the share of abbey lauds,
obtained, at the dissolution of the monasteries, by Sir Wil-
liam Cavendish, who had been gentleman-usher to Cardinal
Wolsey, and d. in 1557 ; and subsequently, by the abilities
and the good fortune of Elizabeth, his widow, who re-
married George, Earl of Shrewsbury, and d. in 1607, aged
eighty-seven. But tliough thence arose the exalted rank
and extensive possessions enjoyed at jnesent by the Caven-
dishes, be it not supposed that their remote ancestors were
obscure. Wliethertbe first of the name who enjoyed the
lordship of Cavendish, in Sviffolk, was or was not the son
of a member of the baronial family of Gemon, whom
genealogists have stated to have owned that estate, it is
clearly ascertained that
Sir John Cavendish, who acquired the lordship of
Cavendish-Overhall, by his marriage with Alice, dau. and
heiress of John de Odyngseles, was chief-justice of the
Court of Kmg's Bench in 1366, 1373, and 1377. In the 4th
RicHAED II., his lordship was elected chancellor of the
University of Cambridge, and was nest year commissioned,
with Robert de Hales, treasurer of England, to suppress
the insun-eotion raised in the city of York ; in which year
the mob, having risen to the number of 50,000, made it a
point, particularly in the co. of Suffolk, to plunder and
murder the lawyers ; and being incensed in a more than
ordinary degree against the Chief-Justice Cavendish, his
son, John, having killed the notorious Wat Tyler, they
seized upon, and dragged him, with Sir John of Cambridge,
prior of Bury, into the market-place of that town, and
there caused both to be beheided. The younger son of
the judge,
SiB John Cavendish, esquire of the body to King
Richard II., is said to be tlie person who actually slew
Wat Tyler. "For William Walworth, mayor of London,
. having arrested him, he furiously struck the mayor with
his dagger, but being armed, hurt him not ; ^Bfeieupon,
339
D E y
the mayor, drawing his basolard, grievously wounded Wat
in the neck ; in which conflict, an esquire of the king's
house, called John Cavendish, drew his sword, and wounded
him twice or thrice even unto death. For which service.
Cavendish was knighted in Smithfield, r,nd had a grant of
£40 per annum from the king."
The great-great grandsons of this Sir John Cavendish were
the brothers,
William Cavendish and Geor.^'e Cavendish ; the latter
was the faithful attendant of Cardinal Wolsey, through
all fortunes ; so faithful, indeed, that after the death of the
Cardinal, King Henry retained him in his own seivice,
especially upon the grounds of his attachment to his late
fallen master. The elder brother, William Cavkndish, was,
in 1530, appointed one of the commissioners for visiting and
taking the suiTenders of divers reUgious houses, and in that
year the piior and convent of Sheen suiTendercd their
monastery to him. He had, subsequently, grants from the
crown, i-eceivcdthehonour of knighthood, and was appointed
treasurer of the chamber to the king ; an office which he
filled in the ensuing i-eigns of Edward VI. and Queen
Mary, when he was sworn of the privy -council. Sir Wil-

was afterwards created (with minor dignities) Marquess
and Duke op Newcastle, under which latter title he
acquired so much renown as a cavalier-general duiing
the civil wars, and was commonly styled The Loyal
Duke of Neiocastle. His grace d. in 1676, and was s. by
his only son,
Henrv, 2nd Duke of Newcastle, who d. in 1691, with-
out male issue, when all his honours, save the barony
of Ogle, became extinct. His grace left five daus.,
the third of whom Lady Margaret Cavendish, to.
John Holies, Earl of Clare, afterwards Duke of New-
castle.
Sir William Cavendish had considerable grants of forfeited
church lands in the reign of Edward VI. He d. in th
4th year of the succeeding reign, having sometime before
commenced the erection of Chatsworth. Henry Cavendish,
Sir William's eldest son, dying, as stated above, issueless,

the whole estate ; and, through his celebrated mother, pos-
sessed three of the most splendid seats ever raised by one

William Pole, in his MS. Survey of Devonshire, the arms of the
Raleighs, the Beaumonts, the Willingtons, Ac. The first who
settled in Ireland was.
Sir Arthur Chichester, Knt., 2nd son of Sir John Chiches-
ter, Knt., high-sheriff of Devonshire in 1552 and 1578, and M.P.

Beaumont, Esq. of Youlston, co. Devon, ^reat-grandson of Sir
William Beaumont and Isabel, his wife, dau. and co-heir of Sir
John Willington, of Umberleigh and Willington Court). In
1603, he was sworn of theprivy-coi)r>cil; and in 1604, appointed
lord-deputy of Ireland, in which year he established two new
circuits, sending the first justices of assize into Connaught, and
reviving the cu'cuit of Munster, which had been discontinued
for more than two hundred years, so that the circuits, which
had previously been confined to the EarjHsh pale, thence-
forward included the whole kingdom ; and with such effect
that, m a very short time, there were not found in all the Irish
counties so many capital offenders as in the six shires of the
western circuit in England. Sir Arthur, in consideration of his
services, military and civil, obtained considerable grants of
land in the province of Ulster, and was created Ba ron Chichester,
of Belfast, in the peerage of Ireland, 23 Feb. 1612. His lord-
ship continued in the government of Ireland for ten years
successively, and was re-appointed in July, 1613 ; in which year
the harp of Ireland was first marshalled with the arms of
England, and has since continued to be impressed upon the
coin of the realm. In Nov. 1615, he retired from his high office,
and was appointed, in 1616, lord-high-treasurcr of Ireland. Lord
Chichester chiefly resided at Carrickfergus, where he erected,
in 1G18, a magnificent mansion called Joymount. In 1622, he
went ambassador to the palatinate, and thence to treat of a
peace with the emperor. During his residence at the imperial
court, being besieged in the city of Maincliina, or Manheim, by
Count Tilly, he remonstrated against the violation of the lav^
of nations in besieging an ambassador; to which Tilly replying,
that he noticed not his being an ambassador; his lord.<;hip
thus answered the messenger: — "Had my master sent me with
as many himdred men as he hath sent me on fruitless messages,
your general should have known that I had been a soldier
as well as an ambassador." His lordship m. Letitia, dau. oi Sir
John Perrott, sometime lord-deputy of Ireland, widow of
Vaughan Blackham, Esq.; and (/. in London, 19 Feb. 1624,

. This family of Brake was founded by the celebrated
Sir Fkancis Drake, one of the most eminent of the
naval heroes who immortalized the reign of Elizabeth.
Born near Tavistock, iu 1545, Drake attained the lieig'at
he eventually achieved by his own enterpri.sing spirit and
traiircendaiit merit alone. He had the good fortvme of
being allied to Sir John Hawkins, and was brought up at
the expense and under the care of that gallant seaman.
When eighteen years of ago, be appears to have held the
situation of purser of a shiii trading to Biscay, and at
twenty he made a voyage to Guiirea. The next year he
bad the honour of being appointed captain of the " Judith,''
and in that capacity was in the harbour of St. Juan dc
Ulloa, in the Gulf of Mexico, where he behaved most gal-
lantly in the glorious actions under Sir John Hawkins, and
returned to England rich in reputation, but iu nothing else.
At this period, he announced his iutcution of making re-
prisals upon the King of Spain ; and no sooner proclaimed
the project, than hundreds volunteered to embark in it.
In 1070, he made his first expedition, with two shijis, the
" Bragon " and the "Swan;/' and the next year in the
" Swan " alone, wherein be returned safe, if not rich. And
having now means sufficient to perform greater matters, he
laid before the public the plan of a more important design
against his enemies. This he put into execution, £4 March,
\572, on which day he sailed from Plymouth, himself in the
" Pascha," of seventy tons burden, and his brother, John
Drake, in the " Swan," of twenty five tons, their whole
strength consisting of no more than seventy-thi-ee men and
boys. With this inconsiderable force, he attacked, on the
22nd July, the town of Nombi-e de Bios, and took it in a
few hours by storm. Here, however, he obtained but little
plunder, and was obliged, eventually, to retire to his ships,
having been severely wounded in the action. His next
attempt was upon Vera Cruz, which he carried and pillaged,
and in retuniing to his vessels fortunatelj' fell in with a

volunteer in Ireland, under Walter, Earl of Essex ; and
upon his return, was introduced by Sir Christopher llatton
to Queen ELiZABEni, when her majestj' immediately took
him under her protection ; and he was enabled, by her
royal favour, to undertake and accomplish, within three
years, his celebrated voyage round the world. This famous
expedition, consisting of the " Pelican," commanded by
Drake himself; the " Elizabeth," Capt. John Winter; the
" Marygold," a bark of thirty tons, Cajit. John Thomas ;
the "Swan," a fly-bo it of fifty tons, Capt. John Chester ;
and the " Christopher," a pinnace of fifteen tons, Capt.
Thomas Moon, sailed from Plymouth, 15 Nov. 1577, and
returned to the same port, 3 Nov. 15S0. In a few months
.after leaving England, Drake committed what has been
termed in gentle language, '' the least commendable action
of his life," but to which a much more severe description
might with justice be applied. Having arrived at Port St.
Julian, 18 June, he took up his abode there for two months,
while he made the necessary provision for passing the
Straits of Magellan. In 15SS, when the Spanish armada
menaced the shores of England, Sir Francis Drake was
appointed vice-admiral, under Charles, Lord Howard Df
Effingham, and had the good fortune to capture the great
galleon, commanded by Don Pedro de Valdez, the reputed
projector of the enterprise, by which himself and his crew
divided 55,000 ducats. Sir Francis Drake //(. Elizabeth

Williams-, of Hawtliorudeu, Micl-Lotuian, h. 13 Jan.
1857 ; s. -his father as 4th bart., 10 Ma}-, 1866.
Maurice Drummond, a native of Hungary, accompanied
Edgar Atheling, andhis two sisters to Scotland, in the year
100s. One of these ladies,
Margaret, the elder, m. Malcolm Canmore, and under
her auspices Drummond acquh-ed large possessions in Soot-
land, and was the progenitor of the noble family of Drum-
mond of Perth, of which Drummond of llawthornden is a
cadet. Late in the fom-teenth century, William Drummond,
a younger son of the family, and brother to Annabella, the
Queen of Robert III. of Scotland, m. Elizabeth, dau. and
one of the co-heii-esses of Sir William Aii-th, of Airth, and I'y
this man-iage acquh-ed the barony of Carnock, in Stu-ling-
shire. The elder branch of the line of Carnock is reputed to
have terminated in the person of Sir John Drummond who
sold the Camock estate to Su- Thomas Kicolson, and after-
wards fell in the battle of Alford, in 1645, fighting under the
banner of the celebrated Marquess of Montrose. John
Drummond (afterwards Sir John), 2nd son of Sir Robert of
383
D R U
Carnock, purchased the barony, and founded the family of
Hawthornden.
It appears from a charter in the possession of the family
in favour of Eleana dc Abemethy, " filia natu maxima de
Laurontii Abernethy, militis, de II;vwthorndcn," that the
barony of Hawthornden belonged, in the year 1338, to the
Abemethys, by whom it was sold to the family of Douglas,
and by them sold to Drummond of Caniock, with whom it
has since remained. The families of Abernethy and Drum-
mond became miited by the marriage of Bishop Abernethy
and Barbara Drummond.
The most remarkable member of this family was William
Drummond, 6. in 1585, (son of Sir John Drummond, of
Hawthornden,) and unquestionably the most ccleljratcd poet
of his day. His HUtory of the five Janiesef, Kings of Scotland,
is also well known ; though perhaps it is as a poet, rather
than an historian, that he is mdebted for his literary fame.
It is an historical fact, that the famous Ben Jonson tra-
velled from London to Scotland on foot, solely for the
pm-poseof visitmg Drummond at his beautiful and romantic
seat at Hawthornden. An account of this visit is recorded
in Jonson's, as well as Drummond's, works.

his OTitings," says Congrcve, "I may venture to state, in
general terras, that no man hath written in our language
so much, and so various matter; and in so various man-
ners, so well. Another thmg, I may say, was very peculiar
to huu; wliich is, that his parts did not decline w-ith his
years; but that he was an improving writer to the last,
even to near 70 years of age, iinpro\ing even in fire and
imagination as well as in judgment." Dryden hi. Lady

The ancient family of Duket (or Duckett), is lineally
descended from
Le Sire Duket, who aceomiianied the Conqueror from
France, and whose descendant,
EicHARD Duket (styled also later Sir Richard Duket), who
was a judge in the 9th of Henry- HI. a.d. 1224, and acted
as such for the counties of Cambridge, Huntingdon, Bedford,
Buckingham, Norfolk, Suffolk, Northampton, and Eutland. He
held the manors of Fillingham, Haydore, Aisbj', and others in
the CO. of Lincoln, and was private secretary to King John,
and by him styled " Clcricus noster." In r225, he went,
bearing the title of " Nuncius Eegis," on a special embassy to
Eome. (See Ducdale's Oiigines Judiciales, Chronica Series,
p. 8; Burn's History of Westmorland and Cumberland, vol. i.
p. HI. 114: and Foss's Jadges of Eaglaad, p. 193, vol. ii).
His descendant,
Richard Duket, of Grayiigg, Evcrsham, and Morland, in
■Westmorland, who rn. a dau. of Sir Richard Redman, of
Over Levins, Knt., and by her had issue,
Sir Richard Duket, of Grayrigg, EversLam, and Mor-
land, Knt., who rn. Mabel, dau. of Sir Roger Bellingbam,

Duket, at whose intercession Margaret of Anjou, wife of
Henry VI, obtained licence of the same king to build
Queen's College, Cambridge, in 1448 ; dedicating the same to
the honour of St. JIargaret, and St. Bernard, but she
died and left it uuperfected. The same Andrew Duket
was rector of St. Botolph's in Cambridge, sometime
principal of St. Bernard's Hostell, and the first pre-
sident of Queen's College, Cambridge. He was formerly
a friar, and had gathered of divers persons so much money
as bought a piece of ground called Goose Green, whereon
the college stands. Afterwards he purchased, and gave
unto this college, the same St. Bernard's Hostell, and by his
own money, and help of others, bought certain other tene-
ments, and (as Stow saith) built the college : he gave much
in lands and moneys, procuring gifts from divers great
personages.* The elder sou. Sir Thomas Duket, was grand-
father of,

The Scots' charters preserved in Durham, and the regis-

Dunbar and March were descended of Cospatrick, Earl of
Northumberland. After Northumberland (one of the seven
Saxon kingdoms) liecame a provmce, the earls thereof wore
only official and provincial, and not hereditary, and they
were often changed at the pleasure of the sovereign.

Dunbar and March, and his countess, the only dau. and

ILinratir.
Amongst the most eminent of the Anglo-Xonnau families
in Ireland is that of Butler; at its head stands the illustrious
house of Ormonde— the great rival of the Geraldines, and
their equal in historic importance and renown. At various
periods the English Earldoms of Wiltshire and Brecknock, and
the Irish, of Arran, Gowran, and Kilkenny, have been held by
the family, in addition to their existing Peerage dignities-
and in all times the name of Butler is most prominently and
honourably associated with the annals of Ireland. The
Barony of Dunboyne "as conferred by Patent, bearing date
in 1541, on Sir Edmund Butler, Knt., Lord of Dunboyne, but
his direct ancestor. Sir Thomas Butler or Le Botilcr,' has
summons to Pariiament as a peer, under the title of "Lord of
Dunboyne," so far back as the reign of King Edward II, This
Sir Thomas Butler or Le Botiler, who was thus sum-
moned as a peer, and took his scat in 1324, was next younger
brother of Sir Edmond Le Botiller, Lord Butler of Arklow
and Earl of Carkick, lord justice of Ireland (father of James|
1st Earl of Ormonde), and third son of Theobald Le Botiler
Great Butler of Ireland, Baron of Arklow, by Joan his wife'
dau. and co-heir of John-FitzPeter FitzGcffery, Baron of Eerk-
hampstead.
Sir Thomas m. Synolda le Petit, Lady of Dunboj-nc and
Molyngar, only child and heiress of William Le Petit, Lord
of Dunboyne and Molyngar, and thus acquired those lordships.
In the 3rd of Richard I., AVilliam Le Petyt succeeded Hugh dc
Lacy, Earl of Hereford, as lord justice of Ireland, and obtained
large grants of lands, consisting of many knights' fees in the
counties of Westmeath and Meath ; in the Sth of King John,
William Le Petyt was summoned to Parliament by writ, and
took his scat accordingly; and in the 13th Henry IH.
Nicholas Le Petit, Lord of Dunboyne and Molyngar, was sum-
moned to attend the King, with twenty-two others, the great
barons of Ireland, 1239. Sir Thomas Botiler, Lord of Dun-
boyne, was slain, to the great loss of the kingdom, in 1329,
leaving a son, Peter, or Pearce Butler, Lord of Dunboyne,
who obtained a grant, 32nd Edward HI., of the manor oi

had lieen seized into the hands of the crown during the wars
of the Eoses, were restored by an act of parliament passed at
Trim, 11th and 12th Edward IV., whereby this Edmond, styled
Edmond-FitzJames Le Botiler, was confirmed in all the titles,
dignities, and estates of his ancestors; and he obtained several
large grants from the cro^\-n in consideration of his great ser-
vices in the Irish wars. He m. Catherine, dau. of Richard

This is one of the few families in the Irish peerage which is of
Celtic origin. Its ancestors. Chiefs of the Clan of Hy-Ifeaman,
were seated at a very early period in a barony of the co. of
Clare, which derived its name of Inchiquin from them. They
were of the same stock as the O'Briens, and descended from
CoBMAC Cas, son of Olholl Olum, Monarch of Ireland at the
opening of tlie 3rd. century. O'Ferrall's Linea Antiqaa gives a
detailed pedigree of the O'Quins of Munstcr, deducing from
three sons of Deadha, viz., ConnMor, Morogh, and Flaherty,
the three families of O'Quin, O'Dea, and O'Roan. A very
curious and interesting letter from Thady Quin, Esq., of Adare,
J. P. teii)p. James II., still in the possession of the Earl of Dun-
raven, refers to this Celtic descent, and carries up the pedigree
to boNOGH Quin, son of James Quin, of Kilmallocli, and
nephew of Dr. John Coyn, or Quin, Bishop of Limerick, who
was, according to Ware, preferred temp. Henry VIII. to that

The family of Daly, or O'Daly, is of very ancient origin,
deducing its descent from Nial Naoigialach (Nial of the nine
hostages), monareli of Ireland in the 4th century, who was also
common ancestor of the O'Neils of Tyrone, and O'Donells
of Tyrconiti'l, from whom the pedigree of this family is lineally
traced in the Heralds' office. Dalagh was 10th in descent from
Nial, whence the name Daly, and from him also the O'Donells
are sometimes styled by the oM Irish annalists, " Siol na
Dalagh," or the clan of Daly. Of las descendants, there were
several kings of Meath, and from thence a branch removed into
Thomoiid, and afterwards into Connaught.

This and the noble house of Fingall claim a common ances-

Sir Christopher Plunkett, Knt., who was deputy-governor
of Ireland, under Sir Thomas Stanley, lord-deputy m 1432, and
subsequently vmder Richard, Duke of York. He -in. Joan, dau.
and sole heir of Sir Lucas Cusack, Knt., Lord of Killeen, by
whom he had, with other children, John, ancestor of the Earl of
Fingall, who inherited the lordship of Killeen ; and
Christopher, of Dunsany, who was created Baron, by writ,
17th Henry VI. His lordship m. Anne, dau. and heir of Richard
Fitzgerald, of Ballysonan, co. Kildare, younger son of Maurice,
3id Earl of Kildare, by whom he had four sons, and was s. by
the eldest,

Eustace, lord-treasurer of Ireland in 1471, and lord-high-chan-
cellor in 1474; and was .!. by his only son,
John, 3rd baron, K.G. His lordship i,i. Catherine, dau. of
Hussey, feudal baron of Galtrim, and was .«. by his eldest son,
Edward, 4th baron. This nobleman was slain by the rebel
O'Connor, in 1521, and was s. by his son (by Anne, dau. and heir
of Philip Birmingham),
Robert, 5th baron, who was one of the peers of the parlia-
ment held at Dublin in 1541, when he was ranked immediately
after his kinsman, Lord Killeen. His lordship m. 1st, Eleanor,
yoiuigest dau. of Sir William Darcy, Knt., of Flatten, vice-trca-
surer'of Ireland, by whom he had four sons and nine daus. He
m. 2ndly, Genet, dan. of William Sarsficld, alderman of Dublin,

and widow of Mr. Aldennan Shillengford, by whom he hud two
other sons. He was «. by his eldest surviving- son,

his eldest son,
Patrick, 7th baron, who m. Mary, 11th dau. of Sir Christo-
pher Barnewall, Knt. of Turvey, and was «■. by his only son,
Christopher, 8th baron. This nobleman m. Maud. dau. of
Henry Babington, Esq. of Detliic, co. Derby, and dying in
1603, was s. by his only son,
Patrick, 9th baron, who recevied a patent of confirmation
from James I. of the several castles of Dmisauy, Coibally, &c.
His lordship was subsequently summoned to parliament, 1st
Charles I., and suffered considerably in the cause of that
unfortunate prince. A short time before the year 1G41, the
lords-justices had supplied the Lords of the Pale with arms, but
suddenly recalled them, which occasioned much discontent
among the catholic lords, who, having assembled, appointed
Lord Dunsany to assure the justices of their attachment and
loyalty, and of their readiness to co-operate in every measure
that could be conducive to the peace of the country. The lords-
justices, however, took no further notice of this proferred service
than by confining his lordship in the castle of Dublin, where he
remained for several years ; but on the restoration of Charles II.
he again took his scat in the House of Lords, and continued to
sit imtil 1606. His lordship i-i. Jane, dau. of Sir Thomas Hene-
age, of Haynton, co. Lmcoln, and was s. at his decease by his
grandson,
Christopher, 10th baron (son of the Hon. Christopher Plun-
ket, by Catherine, 4th dau. of Randal, 1st Earl of Antrim), at
wdiose decease unni. the barony devolved upon liis brother,
Kandall, lltli baron. Tills nobleman, adhering to the fall-
ing fortunes of James II., was outlawed in 1691; but being
included in the treaty of Limerick, liis estates were restored;
neglecting, however, the forms necessary to re-establish himself
in the privileges of the peerage, neither his lordship nor his
immediate descendants had a seat in the House of Lords.
He m. 1st, Anne, relict of Theobald, 1st Earl of Carlingford,
and dau. of Sir William Pershall, but by that lady had
no issue. He m. 2ndly, 1711, Bridget, only dau. of Richard
Fleming, Esq. of Stahalmock, co. Meath (by his 1st wife) ; and
dying 16 March, 1735, left an only son,

blished church, but took no step to confirm the barony and his
right to a seat in the House of Peers. His lordship m. Mary,
eldest dau. of Francis Alen, Esq. of St. Wolstan's, co. Kildare,
M.P. for that shire {me Bcrke's Commoners), and had (with two
daus., Bridget, wife of Hugh McGuire, Esq. of Kelston; and

than the ancient and honourable family wliich still bears the
local name. The regular pedigree can only be traced from the
twelfth century, many of the family records being destroyed in
the civU wars ; but the previous residence of the family is well
proved by attestations of charters and incidental evidence, from
a period very nearly approaching the Norman Conquest."

His lordship s. to the peerage upon the decease of
his grandmother, 22 Sept. 1840, but to the baronetcy
at the decease of his father, 10 March, 1833.
The very ancient family of Tollemache claims Saxon descent,
and the name is said to be a corruption of the word " toUmack,"
tolling of the bell ; the ToUemaches having flourished with the
greatest honour, in the co. of Suffolk, since the first arrival of
the Saxons in England, a period of more than thirteen centuries.
Tollemache, Lord of Bentley, in Suffolk, and Stokc-Tolle-
mache, co. Oxford, lived in the 9th century ; and upon the old
manor house at Bentley appeared the following inscription : —
"Before the Normans into England came,
Bentley was my seat, and Tollemache was my name."
Hugh de Tollemache subscribed the charter .tans date (ahout
the reign of King Stephen), made by John de St. John to Eve,
the first abbess of Godstow, in Oxfordshire. This Hugh, in his
old age, assumed the cowl at Gloucester, and bestowed upon that
monastery a moiety of the town of Hampton, which his son,
Peter, confirmed, in the time of the Abbot Ilamblin. The de-
scendant of Peter,
Sir Hdgh de Tollemache, in the 25th of Edward I., held of
the crown the manor of Bentley, and the fourth part of the
village of Aketon, by knight's service. ' In the 29th of the same
monarch,
William and John Tollemache had summons to attend the
king at Berwick-upon-Tweed, previous to his expedition into
Scotland. This John took the black cross, and his arms are now
remaining in the minster at York.
Sir Lionel Tollemache, of Bentley, flourished in the reigns
of Henrt VI. and Edward IV., and was a personage of great
influence and authority. He m. the heir of Ilehningham, in
Suffolk, and by that alliance acquired the inheritance. His son,
John, was father of
Lionel Tollemache, who was sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk
in 1512; and in 1546, obtained from Henry VIII. grants of the
manor of Wansden, with the rectory thereof; the manor and
rectory of Le Church Hey; the manors of Bury-Hall Willows
and Overhall, to hold of the crown by knight's service. This
gentleman was s. by his son.
Sir Lionel Tollemache, of Helmingham, high-sheriff of
NorfoUi and Suffolk in 1567. In 1561, Queen Elizabeth honoured
Helmingham with her presence, and remained there from the
I4th to the 18th Aug. inclusive, being most hospitably and
sumptuously entertained. During her majesty's visit she stood
sponsor to Sir Lionel's son, and presented the child's mother
with her lute, which is still preserved at Helmingham Hall, co.
Suffolk, the seat of John Tollemache, Esq., M.P. Lady Tolle-
mache was dan. of Sir Richard Wentworth, of Nettlested. Sir
Lionel was «. by his son,
Sir Lionel Tollemache, Knt., high-sheriff of Norfolk and
Suffolk in 1593, who m. Susan, dau. of Sir Ambrose Jermyn, of
Bushbrook, and was s. by his son,
I. Sir Lionel Tollemache, Knt., high-sheriff of Norfolk and
Suffolk in 1609, who was created a Baronet on the institution of
the order, 22 May, 1611. Sir Lionel served the office of sheriff
of Suffolk a second time, in 1617. He m. Katherine, dau. of
Henry, 2nd Lord Cromwell, and granddau., maternally, of John,
Marquess of Winchester, and was s. by his son,

honour of knighthood. He was one of tlie burgesses of Orford,

The elder branch of this famUy emigrated from Kent in the
reii^n of James I., and was amongst the earliest settlers in the
CO. of Armagh. One of its descendants, Captiiin John East,
joined the adventurers under Penn and Venables, for the con-
quest of Jamaica, and, with other officers engaged in that enter-
prise, obtained, soon after the Restoration, a grant, under patent
from the crown, of an estate in Leganea, in the parish of St.
Andrew's, in that island, which estate was afterwards consider-
ably augmented by the purchase of other properties, and has
remained ever since in the family, having come by lineal descent
to the present baronet. The noted Hortus Eastensis, of which
Bryan Edwards, in \ii& Hidory of Jamaica, has given a cata-
logue, was founded by a member of the East family, and was
purchased some years since of the baronet by the assembly of
Jamaica, for a public horticultural institution : another member
of this family held office in tlie court of James I., by whom he
was much favoured ; and whilst in this service, on some sugges-
tion, it is said, of his majesty, who supposed him to be allied to
the family of Modena, changed the spelling of the name from
East to Este; and a third, a clergyman of the established
church, having accompanied Primate Boulter to Ireland, in
1724, there settled, and became archdeacon of Armagh, and
subsequently bishop of Ossory. A third branch settled in Berk-
shire, of which was Sir William East, of Hall Place, Berks,
created a Baronet in 1766. (See the next article.) The first

ment for Great Bedwin, and was the author (in conjunction with
the late Mr. Dumford) of the celebrated Term Reports, and

EDMONSTONE.
Edmonstone, Sir Archibald, of Duntreath, co.
Stirling, b. 12 March, 1795; s. as 3rd bart., upon
the demise of his father, 1 April, 1821 ; m. 10 Oct.
1832, his cousin-german, Emma, dau. of Randle
Wiibraham, Esq. of Rode Hall, co. Chester.
The origin of the name of Edmonstone is Edmundut, with
the adjiuict of toun (a baronial residence), the elder branch
391
of the family having rctahicd the spelling of Sdmondstowne
till its extinction. Who thi.s Edmundus was is uncertain,
but ho may nut improbably have been a scion of the great
family of Seton, whose possessions were contiguous, as the
arms of Edmonstone and 8eton arc the same.
The fii-st notice of the name is of Heniuclts de Edmun-
DiSTON, who was proprietor of the lands of Edmonstone,
near Edinburgh, a.d. 1248. The next appearance of the
name is about one hundred years later, when John db
Edmundistoun is recorded as the sun of Henry.
This Sir John was a person of note, and was much em-
ployed in missions to England during the unfortunate reign
of David II. He was s. by a son of the same name, who
was much in favour likewise with Robert II, the first of
the Stuarts, and m. his dan., Isabella, widow of James, Earl
of Douglas and Marr, killed at Otterbourne. From thia
marriage descended the elder branch of Edmondstoune of
Sdmondstoune and Edenham, and subsequently of Co rehouse,
CO. Lanark, which became extinct in the male line about
one hmidred years ago. (Refer to Landed Otntry; Art.
Cranstoun of Corehouse.)
The present family are descended by regular male descent
from Sir Archibald, who was probalaly younger son of the
1st Sir John. His son Sir William Edmon.stonb, of Culloden,
m. Mary, dau. of King Robert III., who had been previ-
ously in. 1st to the Earl of Angus, and afterwards to the
predecessors of the Earls of Cassilis and Montrose. To this
lady and her husband. Sir William, the lands of Duntreath
were granted, which place has ever since been the chief seat
of the family. The charter of this grant bears date in 1445.
Sir William was s. by his son, of the same name, who
took an active part during the disturbed reign of James III.,
and who was more than once one of the Lords of Articles,
or Standing Committee oi the Scottish parliament. He m.
Matilda, granddau. of the last Regent, Duke of Albany,
and sister of the celebrated Chancellor, Lord Avondale.
Sir William was s. by his son. Sir Archibald, who again
was .?. by his son, Sir William, who fell with the flower of
the Scottish nobility, at the disastrous battle of Flodden.
His son, Sir William, in. Lady Agnes Stewart, dau. to
the Earl of Lennox, and was t. by
Sir James. This gentleman filled some important offices
during the reign of James VI., and was followed in the
fovirth generation by
Archibald Edmonstone, Esq. of Duntreath and Red
Hall, ill the co. of Antrim, who in. 1st, Anne, dau. of David,
Lord Carch'oss, by whom he left one dau. ; and 2ndly, Anne,

Lord Howard, of Ef&ngham, d. 21 Jan. 1573, and was s. by
his eldest son,
Charles, 2nd baron, who was installed a knight of the
Garter, 24 April, 1.074 ; and having 1.ieen appomted, by
Queen Elizabeth, commander-in-chief of the fleet fitted
out to oppose the Sp.anish armada in 1588, his lordship
(a Roman Catholic) had the high honour of preserving the
shores of his coimtry inviolable, by dispersing and totally
destroying that powerful armament. On the 22 Oct.
1596, Lord Howard was created Earl of Nottingham,
and after the accession of James I. (at whose coronation
he officiated as lord high steward of England), his lordship
was engaged in several diplomatic missions of importance.
The earl m. 1st, Cathai-ine, dau. of Henry Gary, Lord Hims-
don, by whom he had two sons and three daus. ; and 2ndly,
Margaret, dau. of James Stewart, Earl of Murray, by whom
he had two sons. Fuller, in his quaint manner, thus speaks
of this gallant and eminent personage :
" An hearty gentleman, and cordial to his sovereign, of
a most proper person, one reason why Queen Elizabeth
(who, though she did not value a jewel by, valued it the
more for, a fair case) reflected so much on him.
" His service in the SSth is notoriously known, when,
at the first news of the Spani.sh approach, he towed at a
cable with his own hands, to draw out the harbour-bormd
ghips into the sea. I dare boldly say, he drew more, though
not by his person, by his presence and example, than any
ton in the place. Ti'ue it is, he was no deep seaman (not
to be expected fi-om one of his extraction), but had skill
enough to know those who had more skill than himself,
and to follow their instructions ; and would not starve the
Queen's service by feeding his own sturdy wilfulness, but
39i
was ruled by the experienced in sea-matters, the queen
having a navy of Oak. and an admiral of Osier."
His lordship d. at the advanced age of 87, 14 Deo. 1024,
and was s. by his 2nd but eldest surviving son,
Charles, 2nd earl, who d. without male issue, 3 Oct.
1642, when the honours devolved upon his half-brother.
Sir Charles Howard, Ent, as 3rd earl. His lordship d.
without issue, 26 April, 1681, when the earldom of Notting-
ham expired (.<ee Bdrke's Extinct and Dormant Peerage);
but the barony of Howard of Effingham reverted to
Fran-CIS Howard, Esq. of Great Bookham, co. Sun'ey,
as 6th baron (revert to descendants of Sir William Howard,
and son of the 1st lord). This nobleman m. Philadelphia,

sons and three daus., Philadelphia, who d. unm. ; Margaret-

of high rank, and was advanced to the Earldom of Effing-
ham, 8 Dec. 1731, in consideration of professional services.
In the same year he was constituted deputy earl-marshal of

The 2nd sou,
Georoe Perceval, Esq., Lord of Tykenham, &c., m.
Elizabeth, dau. of Sir Edward Bamfylde, of Poltimore, in
Devon ; and dying about 1599, left, with a dau., Elizabeth,
m. to Richard Gilbert, Esq., a son,
Richard Perceval. The life of this ultimately suc-
cessful person was chequered and eventful in no ordinary
degree. He was 6. in 1550, and educated at St. Paul's
School, then the most celebrated seminary in England,
whence he was sent to Lincoln's-lnn, to acquire some
general idea of the laws, esteemed, in those days, an accom-
plishment of the highest description. In both his progress
was brilliant, but his conduct dissipated and disorderly, so
much so indeed, that he incurred the displeasure of his
father, who, upon his marriage with Joan, dau. of Henry
Young, Esq. of Buckorn Weston, co. Dorset, entirely aban-
doned him, observing, that as he had ruined himself by
his riots, he might recover himself by his wits. Thus
unnaturally cast oflF, Mr. Perceval found means, by the
credit of his reversionary estates, and the assistance of his
friends, to maintain himself several years, during which
time he had three sons and two daus. : but at length,
through a failure of resources, and the increasing expenses
of his family, he was obliged to quit the kingdom, and
travelled into Spain, where he remained about four years.
Being then informed of his wife's decease, he returned to
England, hoping, now that the principal cause of his
fathei-'s diapleisure had been removed, he might again
recover his good opinion ; but that hope proving delusive,
his relations, and particularly Roger Cave, Esq., of Stam-
ford, who had married the Lord-Treasurer Burghley's sister,
engaged on his side, and, bj' that gentleman's means, he
eontracted an acquaintance with Lord Burghley, who,
being pleased with his talents, and moved by his misfor-
tunes, and having endeavoured in vain to procure a recon-
ciliation with his father, determined to promote his fortune
by employing him iu the management of those state affairs
which required the greatest trust and secrecy. Thus he
continued till the year 15S6, when, whilst the court of
Spain was meditating the armada, an English ship suc-
ceeded in taking from a Spanish vessel letters from the Low
Countries, which, by intimations from abroad, were known
to contain the secret. Those letters being brought to Lord
Burghley, were laid by his lordship before Queen Eliza-
beth in council ; but the contents being in ciphei , the
lord -treasurer proposed that the papers should be entrusted
to this Richard Perceval, who returned them the next day
after they were placed in his hand to her majesty in person,
deciphered, translated, and fairly transcribed in Spanish,
Latin, and English. This was the first certain intelligence
of the Spanish design, and Perceval was admitted instantly
into the queen's favour, and from that moment his road to
hfinour and fortune was open and unimpeded. Having
subsequently filled the office of secretary of the Court of
Wards in England, for several years, he was nominated, in
1616, registrar of the Court of Wards in Ireland, where,
after obtaining considerable landed property, he d. in 1620,
and was s. by his son (by his 2nd wife, Alice, dau. of John
Sherman, Esq of Ottery St. Mary's, co. Devon),
Sir Philip Perceval, Kut., a very distinguished states-
man, who, having been actively employed in the govern-
ment of Ireland for a series of years, obtained grants of
forfeited lands there to the extent of one hundred and one
thousand statute acres. He m. Catherine, granddau. of Sir
William Usher, clerk of the council, and dau. of Arthur
Usher, Esq., by his wife, Judith, dau. of Sir Robert New-
comen, of Moystovsai, co. Lcngford, and had issue,

the profession of the law ; and it is admitted, with one

in Yorkshire. His sor,
Egbert de Bruoe, made a figure at the court of King
Henry I., where he became intimate with Prince David of
Scotland, that monarch's brother-in-law. "When he became
king of Scotland, as David I., in 1124, Bruce obtained from
him the lordship of Aunandale and great possessions in the
south of Scotland. Eobert de Bruce d. in 1141, and was

Egbert Bruce, the elde.st son, was the glorious restorer of
the Scottish monarchy. He became Earl of Carrick on his
father's resignation, in 1292. He asserted his claim to the
Scottish crown, and ascended the throne of his ancestors,
being crowned at Scone, in l.i06. His power and the liber-

s. in 1329 by his only son,
David II., king of Scotland, who was crowned at Scone,
in 1331. He had no issue by either of his wives — the Pi-in-
cess Joanna of England, dau. of Edward II., or Marg.aret de
Logie, and he closed his inglorious reign in 1371, in the

But the great House of Bruce continued to be pei-petuated
in the male line by a most distinguished family of baronial
rank, which has been prolific of high and important branches.
The family of Bruce of Clackmannan, from which all the
prmcipal houses of the name in Scotland are descended,
claims to be of the same stock with the ancient Lords of
Annandale and of Slcelton, and this claim was distinctly
admitted by the head of the family. King David IL, in a

which you should have done, when you were charged to
assassinate the character of a man whose birth is as illus-
trious as your own, or that of the Due de Guise. I can
have no further communication with you but in arms. If
you have any humanity, pray send clothing for your unfor-
tunate prisoners in my possession; leave it at a distance, to
be taken up for them, because I will admit of no contact for
the future but such as is hostile to the most inveterate
degree."
To this the Duke replied: — "Tour letter restores each

1 have always had of you. I accept your last proposal with
pleasure."

and was s. by his sou,
John, 2nd duke, b. 20 April, 1727, at whose decease, unm.
8 Mar. 1748, the family honours devolved upon his brother,
Francis, 3rd duke, 6. 21 May, 1730. This nobleman
justly acquired the reputation of being the great founder of
inland navigation in this country, by his enterprising
speculation in the celebrated canal which becirs his name,
and which has reaUied a princely revenue for his successors.
The mighty and pro.sperous scheme originated thus : the
duke's father, Scroope, the first duke, had obtained,
in 1732, an act of parliament, authorizing him to dig
a canal from Worsley, one of his estates, containing very
valuable coal mines, to Manchester, but the difficidties
in the way of executing it deterred him from the attempt.
His son, Francis, by the death of his elder brother, John,
the second duke, coming into possession of the family
estates, resolved to complete the plan of his father, and
succeeded, by the help of Brindley, a self-taught man of
remarkable genius, to eifect his object. He, the duke, to
better carry out his p^an, limited his personal expenses to
£400 a-year, and devoted all the rest of his large income to
the undertaking. The canal was completed in five years,
after the expenditure of immense sums, and the duke was
thus enabled to supply Manchester and the neighliouring
towns with coal ; he afterwards extended the canal to the
Mersey, so as to brmg Liverpool into the line of his navi-
gation. The success of his undertaking was so vast that
canals were now projected in every direction, and Brindley
formed the grand idea of estalilishing a water communica-
tion between London, Bristol, Liverpool, and Hull. This
canal was finished in 1777. The Duke of Bridgewater was
too absorbed in his gigantic enterprise to take any active
part in politics, but he was a friend to the Pitt adminis-
tration, and largely contributed to the Loyalty Loan. The
duke, when m London, was too occupied to even keep
house, and he paid an annuity to a friend, Mr. C'arvill,
that his grace, whenever not otherwise engaged, and his
intimate friends, might have their meals at Mr. Carvill's
table. Eis grace d. unm. 8 March, 1803, when the
dukedom and mai-quessate expired, but the earldom and
minor titles reverted to his cousin.

Eight Reverend John, Lord Bishop of Durham, grandson
of Dr. Henry Egerton, Lord Bishop of Hereford, and grand-
nephew of the 1st duke. His lord.ship's mother was Anna-
Sophia, dau. and co-heiress of Henry Grey, Duke of Kent,
■which dukedom expired with his grace, in 1750. This
nobleman (Lord Bridgewater), a person of singular eccen-
tricity, was 6. 13 April, 1753, and entering into the army,
rose to the rank of major-general, 25 Feb. 1795 ; and of

It was this Sth Earl who left £8,000 for the writing and
publishing of the celebrated essays, known as the Bridge-
water Treatises.
The last and celebrated Duke of Bridgewater, whoamassed
immense wealth, devised most of his houses and pictures
(the latter valued at £150,000) to his nephew, George Gran-

retary-of-state in 1598; and continuing to rise in the
king's favour, the lands belonging to the Cistercian
Abbey of Balnierinoch, in Fife, were erected into a tem-
poral lordship in favour of himself, his heirs male, and heirs
of taUzie and provision, by charter under the great seal, dated
20 Feb. 1603-4, and he took his seat accordingly as a peer in
parliament, by the title of Lord Balmerliio. His lordship
was eventually tried and convicted of treason, for having, in
his capacity of secretary of state, obtained surrejititiously the
signature of his royal master, James VI., to a letter addressed
to Pope Clement VIII., soliciting a cardinals hat for his
kinsman, Drummond, Bisliop of Vaizon. He did not suffer,
however, under the conviction. From this nobleman we pass

ent of the house of Stuart. This nobleman engaged in the

His lordship is the 2"2nd high-constable ; and as
such is, by birth, the first subject in Scotland after
the blood royal, having a right to take place of every
hereditary honour, which was allowed to his lord-
ship's father on the visit of George IV. to North
Britain. He served in the Crimea, and was severely
wounded at the Alma.
Hinragr.
The traditional origin of the noble house of Hat is thus
related: — In the reign of Kenxeth III., anno 9S0, the
Danes, who had invaded Scotland, having prevailed at the
battle of Loncarty, near Perth, were pursuing the flying
Scots from the field, when a countryman, with his two
sons, appeared in a narrow pass, through which the van-
qui-shed were hurrying, and impeded for a moment their
flight. "What!" said the rustic, "had you rather be
slaughtered by your merciless foes, than die honourably
in the field ? Come, rally, rally I" and he headed the fugitives,
brandishing his ploughshare, and crying out that help wag
at hand ; the Danes, believing that a fresh army was falling
upon them, fled in confusion, and the Scots thus recovered
the laui-els which thej- had lost, and freed their country
from servitude. The battle being won, the old man, after-
wards known by the name of Hay, was bi-ought to the
king, who, assembling a parliament at Scone, gave to the
eaid Hay and his sons, as a just reward for their valour,
so much land on the river Fay, in the district of Qowrie,
as a falcon from a man's hand flew over till it settled ;
which being six miles in length, was afterwards called
Erroll ; and the king being desirous to elevate Hay and his
sons from their humble rank in life to the order of nobility,
his majesty assigned them a coat of arms, which was.
Argent, three escutcheons, gules, to intimate that the
father and two sons had been the three fortunate shields of
Scotland. So much for tradition. But the i- •■'--■^-»vei-tible
ERR
E R R
fact is, that the noble houses of Twceddalc and Erroll claim
a common progenitor in
William de Haya, who ol)tainod a grant of the lands of
Erroll from William the Lion, and was king's butlor in
that monarch's reigu. He la. Juliana, dau. of Ranulph
dc Soulis, Lord of Liddesdale, and had two sons, William,
his heir ; and Robert, ancestor of the house of Tweeddale,
The elder son,
Sir William de Haya, was father of
David de Haya, who m. Helen, dau. of Gilbert, Earl of
Stratheru, and had two sons, viz.,
Gilbert, his heir.
William, from whom spring the Hays of Leys, of Pitfour,
Sqigieden, cOc. (See Burke's iovuZed G^e/tiry.)
From the elder son, Gilbert, descended
Sir Gilbert de Hay, Lord of Erroll, who adhering to
Robert I., obtained from that prince a grant o? divers
crown lauds, and was created by charter, dated 12 Nov.
1315, High Constable of Scotland, to himself and his
heirs for ever. The grcat-great-great-grandson and lineal
descendant of the constable,
William Hay, of Erroll, constable of Scotland, was
elevated to the peerage, 17 March, 1452-3, as Earl of
Erroll. His lordsliip m. Eeatrix Douglas, dau. of J ames,

Ei'ucacic.
This family is of very ancient establishment in the co. of
Wexford, where we find .John Esmond was consecrated
Bishop of Ferns about the middle of the 14tb century. The
immediate founder of the present hou.se,
John Esmonde. Esq. of Johnstown, co. Wexford, m.
Isabel, dau. of Thomas Rosseter, Esq. of Rathmacknee
Castle, and left a son,
Laurence Esmonde, Esq. of Johnstown. This yentleman
m. Eleanor, dau. of Walter Walsh, of The Mountains, by
whom he had two sons, and was s. by the elder,
William Esmonde, Esq., who m. Margaret, dau. of
Michael Furlong, Esq. of Horetown, and had, with seven
daus., four sons, viz.,
Robert, living in 1618, who continued the line of Johns-
town, which became extinct a few years since in the
male line.
Laueence, of whom presently. James. Patrick.
The 2nd sou.
Sir Laurence Esmonde, abandoning the religious creed
of his ancestors, declared himself a partisan of Elizabeth,
and a convert to Protestantism. In 1601-2 he commanded
a troop of 150 foot and horse in her Majesty's service, was
knighted by Sir Henry Sydney the viceroy, and served in
Connaught in the same corps d'arm^e, on the expeditions
of the Irish chieftains, Morough-ni-doe O'Flaherty Dynast
421
E S M
of West Connaught, and Sir Theobald Bourke, Ist Viscount
Mayo, who, to preserve their estates, had made their sub-
mission a short time previously to the lord-deputy, and
accepted commands in the Queen's service. Sir Laurence
Esmonde's zeal and activity in his military operations pro-
cured for him in an especial degree the favour of the
court, and his ambition increasing with his fortiuie, ho was
rai.sed to the peerage, in 1622 (being at the time major-
general of all the king's forces in Ireland, and governor of
Duncannon Fort), as Loud Esmonde, Baron of Limerick, co.
Wexford. During one of his campaigns in Connauglit,
having fallen in love with the beautiful sister of O'Fhihcrty,
he m. her, and had one son, Thomas. It happened, how-
ever, that Lady Esmonde, a devout Roman Catholic, fearing
that her child might be brought up a Protestant, formed
the resolution of carrying off the infant by stealth, and
roturaing to her family in Connaught. This act of maternal
devotion appears to liave been not at all disagTceable to Sir
Laurence, as affording him a pretext for casting suspicion
on the legality of his union, that of a Protestant with a
Catholic : j'et, witliout resorting to legal measures to annul
the marriage in due form, he some time after rn. Elizabeth,
2nd dau. of the Hon. Walter Butler, 4th son of Jame.s, 9th
Earl of Ormonde, but by her had no issue. His lord.ship d.
26 March, 1646, bequeathing all his extensive estates to his
only son,
I. Sir Thomas Esmonde, 1st baronet. The severity and
singularity of his case created considerable interest ; and
there is scarce a doubt that, but for the melancholy state
of civil war, usurpation, and destruction of pixij^erty, at
that period, upon legal investigation into the matter and
the accompanying circumsto,iiccs, the conduct of Lord
Esmonde towards his lady, and the legalitj' of his second
marriage (his first undivorced wife still living), Sir Thomas
Esmonde's right of succession to his father's peerage could
not fail to have been acknowledged. Before, however, that
could have taken place, Sir Thomas died, and his successor
had to occupy himself with entering into possession of his
grandfather's property. Sir Thomas Esmonde, as already
noticed, was reared and educated with his maternal re-
lations ; and upon his uncle being raised in the peerage
to the dignity of Viscount Bourke, of Mayo, by privy-seal,
dated at Westminster, 8 Feb. 1626. and by patent, 21 June,
1627, Sir Thomas, who had already been knighted for his
eminent services in the cause of royalty, as general of
horse in tlie armies of Charles I. was created, through
Lord Mayo's influence, a few months later (28 Jan. 1628),
a B\RONET op Ireland. Sir Thomas to. Ellis, widow
of Thomas Butler, 4th Lord Cahir, and dau. of Sir John
Fitzgerald, of Dromana, co. Waterford (of the line of

boundaries of the rivers Potomack and Rappahannock, con-
taining, by estimation, 5,700,000 acres. From liis father he
inherited Denton Ilall ana other property in Y'orksliire, but he
was obliged liy his mother and grandmother to dispose of those,
in order to redeem the Coleiiepper manors. His lordship had a
commission in tlie horse-guards, but visiting his American
estates about the year 1 739, he was so captivated with the soil,
climate, and beauties of Virginia, that he resolved to spend tlie
remainder of his life there ; and he soon after erected two
mansions, Belvoir and Greenway Court, where he continued
ever afterwards to reside in a state of baronial hospitality. His
dress was plain and simple, his manners modest and unaffected,
and his style of living magnificent. Such was his generosity,
that he gave up his English estates to his brotlier Eobert, and
the surjjlus of his American income was distributed among his
poor neighbours. His principal amusement fl'as hunting ; and
after the chase he was wont to invite the whole field to partake
his hospitality. He had been educated in revolutionary prin-
ciples, and had imbibed high notions of republican liberty. He
was lieut. and custos rotoloruin of Frederick County, and pre-
sided at the provincial courts of Winchester (U.S.), where,
during the session, he kept an open table. His lordship d.
umn., at Greenway Court, in 1782, when the title devolved
upon his only surviving brother,

in the year 1738. At an early age he entered the naval
service of his country, and continued in it for the long
period of sixty-three j-ears. In 1759 he was present at the
taking of Quebec under General Wolfe, and in the year
1778, when in command of H.M.S. "Alert," he captured
"Le Ciaireur," the first ship taken in the French war; a
service greatly enhanced from the " Arethusa " being en-
gaged at the same time in her celebrated action with the
" Belle Poule." But Captain Fairfix more particularly
distinguished himself at the memorable battle of Camper-
down, on the 11th Oct. 1797, in which engagement he acted
as flag captain to Lord Duncan, on board H.M.S. "Vene-
rable ;" and in consideration of his acknowledged bravery
and merit upon that occasion, he received the honour of

Sir Henry Gary, K.B., who was elevated to the peerage
of Scotland, 10 Nov. 1620, as Viscount Falkland. His
lordship was constituted Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland in
1622, and continued in office seven years. He ra. Elizabeth,
only dau. and heir of Sir Laurence Tanfield, chief-baron of
the Exchequer, .and had issue,
430
Lucius, his succesBor.
Lawrence, killed fighting under Sir Cliarles Coote, when
he defeated the Irish at Swords, in 1642.
Anne, m. to James, 2nd Earl of Home.
Amongst the papers of the viscount, who was a man of
letters, was found, and printed in 1680, The History of the
v\ost unfortunate Prince Edward II., with choice 'political
observations on hirn, and his unhappy favourites, Gaveston and
Spencer. His lordship is remarkable for an invention to
prevent the counterfeit of his signature — that of artfully
concealing within the writing the successive years of his
age. He d. in 1633, and was s. by his elder son,
Lucius, 2nd viscount. This eminent person was bom
at Burfnrd, about the year 1610, and carried by his father
into Irel.and, when that nobleman was appointed lord-
deputy, in 1622, where he received part of his education at
Trinity College, Dublin ; he was afterwards of St. John's
College, Cambridge. At the age of nineteen, he inherited
the fortune of his maternal grandfather, and thus became
possessed of a landed estate of about £2000 per annum,
with considerable personal property. His lordship, after
the decease of his father, retired to his seat at Great Tew,
and devoted himself entii'ely to literature. Previotisly to
the breaking out of the civil wars, he was member of
parliament fur Newport, and a strenuous opponent of the
court ; but so soon as actual rebellion commenced, he as
strenuously supported the royal cause. He attended the
king at Edgebill, at Oxford, and at the siege of Gloucester,
but a view of the calamities brought upon his country, and
the still greater impending evils, entirely broke down his
lordship's spirits, and though no military man, he sought
death as a reUef in the field of battle. Frequently, when
sitting among.st his friends, after a long silence and deep
sighs, he would crj' aloud with a shrill voice. Peace !
declaring himself incapable of living in such a state of per-
petual grief and anxiety. This extreme uneasiness seems
to have hun-ied him on to destruction. Putting himself
into the first rank of Lord Byi-on's regiment, at Newbury,
20 Sept. 1643, he received a musket-shot wound, and falling
from his horse, his body was not found until the next
morning.
" Thus Falkland died, the generous and the just."
Loi-d Clarendon, speaking of Falkland, saj's, that he was a
person of such prodigious parts of learning and knowledge,
and of that inimitable sweetness and delight in conversa-
tion, and of so flowing and obliging a humanity and good-
ness to mankind, and of that primitive simplicity and
integrity of Ufe, that, if there were no other brand upon
the odious and accursed civil war than that single loss, it
must be most infamous to all posterity. HJa lordship at one
time filled the office of secretary of state to Charles I. He
rn. Letitia, dau. of Richard Morrison, Esq. of Tooley Park,
CO. Leicester, and was s. by his eldest son,
Heni'.y, 3rd viscount. His lord.ship, after the Restora-
tion, represented Arvmdel in parliament, and was nomi-
nated lord-lieutenant of the co. Oxford. He was com-
mitted to the Tower during the usurpation, upon suspicion
of being concerned in Sir George Booth's rising for the
restoration of Charles II. Lord Falkland was author of
T)n Marriage Fight, a comedy. He m. Margaret, dau. of
Anthony Hungerford, Esq. ; and dying in 1663, was s. by
his eldest son,
Anthony, 4th viscount. This nobleman filled some high
official situations during the reigns of Charles II. and
William III., but incun-ed the displeasure of the House of
Commons, which resolved, 17 Jan. 1693-4, that Viscount
Falkland, one of its members, by begging and receiving
£2,000 from his majesty, contrary to the ordinaiy method
of issuing and bestowing the king's money, was guilty of a
high misdemeanor and breach of trust, and that he be
committed to the Tower. His lordship in. Rebecca, dau. of
Sir Rowland Lyttou, of Knebworth, Herts ; and dying in
1604, left issue, a dau,, Frances, m. to John Villiers, 1st
Earl of Grandison, and a son and successor,

" Roch Castle," says Feuton, in his Pembrokeshire, " is so
called from its peculiar site, a circumstance that probably
gave name to the first possessor of it whom we hear of, viz.,
Adam de Rupe, who was likewise the founder of Pill
Priory. It occupies the south-west extremity of one of
those inland rocky ridges with which Pembrokeshire
abounds running nearly east and west, and a little to the
north of the church of St. Mary de Rupe."
At what time it was inhabited is uncertain, but it must
have been prior to the reign of Henry VI, about which
time the great possessions of the family of De la Roche, the
lords of this castle, fell between co-heiresses, one of whom
married Lord FeiTcrs, the other Sir Thomas Longueville,
who Boon after sold the property. The tradition is, that
a former proprietor of the family of De la Roche having
been foretold that he should die by the bite of a viper,
erected this castle on a rock, at a distance from any growth
that might be liable to harbour a noxious creature, and
there immured himself for years, but that a viper, con-
cealed in a faggot of wood, happened to be brought in, and
was the cause of his death ; and on a monument of a
crusader in Langwm church, said to be his, they point out,
on the military boot of the efiigy, an almost eSaced thong
that winds round the leg, as the representation of the
viper.
An " inquisitio post mortem " of the possessions of
De la Roche, mentions the castle as then ruuious and
deserted. This inquisition was taken after the death of
the last male possessor, Thomas de la Roche, so that it is
probable it never was inhabited since the days of tho
Crusader.
Adam de Rupe, who accompanied Robert FitzStephen
to Ireland, in the year 1196, was a man " of gi-eat
possessions and power" in Pembrokeshire, founded Pill
Priory, buUt Roch Castle, the church of St. Mary of
Rooh, that of Langwm, and^many others in the same
county. In the last named church is preserved a tomb
bearing the effigy of a member of the family, the helmet
being surmounted by the head of an eagle as crest, still
borne by his descendants. The vast possessions in Pem-
brokeshire were retained until the reign of Henry VI.,
when they fell between co-heiresses, one of whom, Elen,
m. Edmond de Ferrers, Lord Ferrers of Chartley, and the
other, Elizabeth, Sir George de Longueville, who sold the
property.

ilutracjr.
The vei-y ancient and honourable family of Shirley has
had the good fortune to have been illustrated by an his-
torical naiTative, compiled by a distinguished member of
its o■s^^l house. Sir Thomas Shirley, of Botolph's Bridge,
composed three distinct MS. histories of the Shirlevs, all
of which are preserved in the British Museum. From these
records it appears that the Shirloys derive descent from
Sasuallo or Sew.\llus de Etinodon, whose name (says
DnOD,\LE, in his Antlqu'dits of Wai-wickt^hire) argues him to
bo of the old English .stock. He resided at Nether-
Etingdon, in the co. Warwick, about the reign of King
Edward the Confessor, which place had been the seat of
his ancestors, as there is reason to believe, for many
generations before that period.
After the Conquest, the lordship of Etiugdon was given
to Henry, Earl of Ferrars, in Normandy, who was one of the
principal adventurers with the Norman Duke William, and
was held under him by this Sewallus, with whose posterity,
ill the male line, it has continued to the present reign, the
late Hon. George Shuiey, who 0,. in 1787, having been
owner thereof. This long continuance of ownership is men-
tioned by DcoDALE, who says, in his Worwiek-ihire, that
Etingdon is the only place in the comrt^' which could glory
in an uninterrupted succession of its owners for so long a
space of time.
As appears by Kenilworth Register, Sewallus de Eting-
don, before mentioned, founded and endowed the church
of Nether-Etingdon. That he was an eminent roan, is
obvious from his large possessions in the counties of
AVarwick, Lincoln, Northamiiton, and Derby, in the time
of the Conqueror, few being allowed at that change to
enjoy more than a part of their estates, and even obliged to
hold that portion by military and other services, from their
new lords. Therefore, if wo may guess of his authority by
the extent of his est.ate, which amounted to seventeen
hides of land in this place only, he must have been no less
than a Thane in the time of the Saxons, which was the
same degree of honour among them as a Baron or Peer of
England after the Norman Conquest ; for, as the learned
Sclden observes, litt'.e more than five hides of land was an
438
estate for some who were so dignified. He d. about 1085
and was s. by his only child,
FuLCHEB, who d. about 1105, leaving issue,
I. Sewallus, his heir.
II. Henry, from whom descended the Shirlets oJ Ireton,
CO. Derby, who took the name of Ireton.
III. Ftdcher, twice married, but d. s. p.
IV. Nicholas.
v. Robert.
Sewallds, the eldest son, d. about 11'29, leaving by his
1st wife, Matilda, dau. of Ridel of Halaughton, co.
Derby,
I. Henry, his successor.
II. Fulcher, who held four knights' fees, but d. s. p.
III. Hugh, a priest.
IV. Ralph.
V. Richard.
Having ti-anslated his seat from Etingdon to Shirley in
Derbyshire, he was the first of the family who called him-
self De Shirley. He was s. by his eldest son,
Henry, who held five knights' fees in Derbyshire, of
Robert de FeiTcrs, Earl of Derby, and d. about 1165. He
gave the lordship of Ivanbrook to the monks of Bildewas,
and was a witness to the foundation charter of Merevalle
Abbey. He left issue, by Joanna, dau. and heir of John
de Clinton, of Essex,
Sewallus, his son and heir, who, in 1107, acknowledged
himself to hold of William de Ferrei's, Earl of Derby, those
nine knights' fees which Henry his father, and his uncle,
sometime held of Earl Robert, gi-andfather to the said earl.
He m. Isabel, dau. and co-heir of Robert Meyuell, of Laiig-
ley-Meynell, co. Derby, by whom he had a dau., Elizabeth,
wife of John de Walton, son of Simon, Bishop of Norwich ;
and a son and heir,
Sir James de Shirley, who was a knight, and had free
warren granted to him in all his demesnes at Shirley, in
l'2i7, and at Etiugdon, in 1255. He m. Agues de Walton,
dau. of Simon de Walton, Bishop of Norwich, and had issue
by her. Sir Ralph, his successor. He d. about 127S.
Sir Ralph de Shirley, in the 7th year of Edward I.,
held the manor of Eatendon, co. Warwick, of Edmund,
Earl of Lancaster, the king's brother, by the service of two
knights' fees. In the •2Sth of the same reign, he had the
custodies of the cos. Salop and Stafford, with the castle of
Shrewsbury, committed to his charge, and was sheriff of
the COS. Derby and Nottingham in the 27th, 2Sth, and 30th
of the same king. In the 3rd Edward II, he was con-
stituted one of the justices of the co. Warwick, for the gaol
deliverj^, and in two years after was elected to parliament
for that CO. He m. Margaret, dau. and co-heir of Walter de
Waldeshief, of Fuirfield, co. Derby, cup-bearer to Edward
II ; and djdng in 1327, was it. by his son.
Sir Thomas Shirley, Knt., M.P. for the co. Warwick,
in the 14th year of Edward III. This Su- Thomas is said
to be " the great founder of the family of Shirley, famous
in his time for his valour, and for the many services, iSic. ,
rendered to the Kings of England, against the French."
He m. Lsabel, granddau. of Ralph, Lord Basset of Drayton,*
* This marriage with the heiress of Lord Basset, of Dr.ay-
ton, deserves some remarks. The lady's legitimacy has
latterly been doubted, in defiance of what seems decisive
proof, for reasons which appear extremely weak, or rather
no reasons at all. The onlj- colour for aspersion which I
Iiave met with, is an inquisition mentioned by Dugdale in
which TtiOinax, Earl of Stafford, was found to be cousin and
U'Xt heir of Ralph, last Lord Bassett, of Drayton; viz.,
grandson of Margaret, si.ster to Ralph, Lord Basset, his
grandfather. But every profound and properly qualified
genealogist knows, that inquisitions will perpetually mis-
lead if superficially examined ; and in the present instance,
the very next column of Dugdale would have suggested a
solution of the diflficnlty. The heirs frequently pointed out
by inquisitiiins (which are taken fir the purpose of showing
who are entitled to the estates of the deceased), are keirs of
entail, and not heirs of bluod. And this was obviously the
case in the Basset inquisition. Ralph, Lord Basset, the
grandfather, in conjmiction with Ralph, his grandson and
heir-apparent, in the reign of Edward III, settled by fine
several of his manors to himself for life, remainder to Ralph,
the grandson, and the heirs of his body; remainder to the
heirsmale of the body of Ralph, the grandfather; and for
want of such iss,/e, to Ralph de Stafford for life, with divers
other remainders of the line of Stafford, ifcc. This entail will
at once account for the inquisition ; which finds Thomas,
Earl of Stafford, and not Sir Hugh Shirley (or rather his
mother, Isabel, if she w:is living), to be his heir. Lord
Basset, by his will, dated in ].'i8& (of which a copy is to be
found in Harl. MSS., 4928, p. 21.8), entailed the lordships of
Rakedale, <fe8. , on Sir Hugh Shirley, and the heirs male of
his body, on condition he should bear the name and ai-ms of
F E R
FEE
and eventually heir of her brother Ralph, the last Lord
Basset of that lino (since whose decease that barony has
been in abeyance {see Burke's Extinct Peerage), and, dying
in 13ti2, was s. by his son,
Sir Hugh Shirley, Knt., who ». also to the estates of
his nncle, Lord Basset of Drayton. This gentleman was
made grand falconer to Henry IV. in 1400, and he was
killed fighting on the side of the same monarch at the
battle of Shrewsbury, being one of those who were habited
as the king, and taken for him by the opposite party. Ho

The earl s. his xmcle, as 5th earl, 9 March, 1857, and
was created a peer of the United Kingdom in the
same year. He was made a Knight of the Thistle,
2 March, 1860.
This noble family derives from Ftpe Macddff, a chieftain of
great wealth and power, who lived about the year 834, and who
afforded to Kenneth II., King of Scotland, strong aid against
his enemies the Picts. In reward of these services, Macduff
received from the monarch a grant of all the lands then called
Othelinia, which he himself had conquered from the Picts, and
which extended from Fifeness to Clackmannan, from east to
west, and from the river Forth on the south, to the rivers Tay
and Erne, on the north. Of that tract of land, which he called
Fife, Macduff was appointed hereditary thane. The 8th in
descent from him was the
Macduff, with whom the genius of Shakespeare has made
the world familiar. Tlris powerful thane having mainly con-
tributed to the destruction of the usui-per, Macbeth, and to the
restoration of Malcolm Ceanmohr, the latter king confirmed
to him his co. of Fife, of which he created him earl in lOGl.
The 13th earl,
Duncan, dying in 1353, without issue male, the earldom
became extinct. His descendant, however, David Duff,
received, in 1401, from Eobert III. a grant of considerable
lands and of tlie barony of MuJdavlt, which continued to be one
of the chief titles of the family, until alienated in the beginning
of the reign of Charles II. The descendant of David Duff,
William Duff, Esq., was elevated to the peerage of Ireland,
by the Queen Eegent Caroline, as Baron Braco of Kilhryde,
28 July, 1735; and advanced to a viscounty and earldom,
26 April, 1759, by the titles of Viscount Macduff and Earl
Fife.* His lordship m. 1st, Jane Ogilvie, dau. of James, Earl of

This noble family is of Danish origin, but its settlement
in Ireland is so remote that nothing certain can be ascer-
tained as to the precise period. So early as the nth cen-
tury we find
John Plunkett was seated at Beaulieu, or Bewley, co.
Meath, the constant residence of the elder branch of his
descendants. The successor at Bewlej', in the beginning
of the 13th century,
John Pldnkett, living temp. Henry III, had two sons ;
John, ancestor of the Lords Louth, and
Richard Plunkett, of Rathregan, co. Meath, who, with
his sun and heir, Richard Plunkett, by royal writs of
parliamentary summons, was summoned to, and sat in
the parliaments and great coimoil of 1374 ; the one as a
baron, and the other " de concilio regis." The younger
Richard Plunkett was father of
Sir Christophf.r Plunkett, Knt. This gentleman, as a
recompense for the services he had rendered in the wars of
Irelaiid, and an indemnity for the expenses he had incurred,
had a grant of a sum of money from Henry VI, in 1426 ;
before which time he was sheriff of Jlcath ; and in 1432,
was deputy to Sir Thomas Stanley, Knt., lord-lieut. of
Ireland. Sir Christopher m. in 1403, Joan, only dau. and
heir of Sir Lucas Cusac, Knt., Lord of Killeen, co. Meath,

and became in her right proprietor of the barony of Ivilleenj
and by her had issue,
I. John, his heir, of Killeen.
II. Christopher, ancestor of Lord Dunsany.
III. Thomas, of Rathmore, chief justice, ancestor of the
Plunkets of Rathmore.
IV. Rowland, whose son and heir, Sir Thomas Plunket,
chief justice of the Common Pleas in Ireland, was an-
cestor of the great house of Plunket of Dnitsnghlie,
whose heir general and representative is the present
Right Hon. Major-Gen. Framcis-Plunket DaNNE, of
Brittas, Queen's Co., M.P. for that county.
He d. in 1445, and was s. by his eldest son,
John Plunkett, 2nd Lord of Killeen, who was s. by his
son.
Sir Christopher Plunkett (who in an act of parliament,
27 Henry VI, ia called '' Christofre Plunkett le pnisn;
Seigneur de Killeen "), 3rd Lord of Killeen. This feudal
lord m. twice ; 1st, Genet, dau. of Bellew of Bellewstown,
by whom he had two sons, the younger of whom, Brough-
ton, fell at the battle of Stoke in 1487, fighting for Lambert
Simnel. Sir Christopher m. 2ndly, Elizabeth, dau. of Sir
AVilliam Wells, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, by his wife, a
dau. of Baniewall of Crickston, by whom (who was m.
2ndly, to John Fleming, of Newcastle, Lord Slane) he had a
dau., who m. Nicholas, 10th Baron of Howth, and two sons.
Sir Christopher d. in 1487, and was «. by his oldest son,
CHRrsTOPHER Plunkett, 4tb Lord of Killeen, who had
summons to parliament in 1463, and is called in a statute
of that year, " Christofre Plunkett, Esquire, Fitz and Heire
de Christofre Plunkett, Chevalier, Jadetz Seigneur de
Killeen." He d. without issue, and was s. by his brother
and heir male,
Edmund, Lord of Killeen, whose titles and descent
set forth in a statute of the year 1470, and who is styled,
in the roll bearing date 1481, as Edmnndus Plunkett,
Dominus de Killeen. He had issue a son and heir,
Sir John Pi unkett, Lord of Killeen, who was sworn
of the Privy Council to Henky VIII, and was found by
inquisition to have had four sons. The 2nd son,
Christopher Plunkett, who s. to the titles and estates,
as heir to his brother Patrick, was an active and gallant
nobleman, who discharged many high functions and com-
missions under the royal authority. He sat in the parlia-
ment of 1509, and having to the granddau. of the Baron of
Slane, left issue, three daus. , his co-heirs,
Maude, m. to the Baron of Louth.
Catherine, m. to David Sutton, Esq.
Margaret, to. to Nicholas Aylmer, Esq. of Dullardston.
Christopher was s. by his brother and heir male,
James Plunkett, Lord Killeen, whose inheritance of
the ancient family dignity was not opposed or questioned
by the daus. co-heirs of his deceased brother, and he took
his place in the House of Peers in the year 1585. On the
15 April, 1589, he enfeoffed trustees in his family estates,
and was s. at his decease by his son and heir,
Christopher Plunkett, Baron of Killeen, when aged 31,
who sat in the parliament of 1613, and dying soon after,
was s. by his eldest son,
Li'CAS, the 10th lord, styled Lucas More. This nobleman
had a large grant of territory in 1613, and was created
Earl of Fing.vll, 26 Sept. 1628, James I, preluding the
honour by a most flattering letter, dated Westminster,
28 June, in that year, beginning thus : — " That having
received good testimonies of the virtuous and many good
parts of his right trusty and well beloved subject, the Lord
Baron Killeen, being one of the ancitnt nobility of Ireland,
his majesty was pleased," &c. &c. His lordship m. four
times, and had issue by his 2nd marriage, with Susannah,
5th dau. of Edward, Lord Brabazon (only), of which,
Christopher, the eldest son, .«. to the honours.
George, the 4th son, a capt. of foot at the siege of Drog-
heda, in 1641, and afterwards col. in the rebel army.
He m. Cicely, dau. of Sir William Hill, of Allenston, co.
Meath, and had,
James, who to. 1st, Catherine, dau. of Edward Plunkett,
of Loughcrew, and niece of Oliver Plunkett, titular
primate of all Ireland in 1681, a clergj'man of great
virtues and ability, who fell a victim to the times in
which he lived, being most unjustly executed in 1681,
as one of the conspirators in the pretended Popish
Plot. By this lady he had a dau., Mary, m. to William
O'Mara. He m. 2ndly, Mary, dau. of Robert Cusack,
Esq. of Jerristown, co. Meath, and had, with other
issue,
Robert, who «. as 6th earl.
His lordship d. in 1637, and was s. by his eldest son,
Christopher, 2nd earl This nobleman having been
made prisoner at the battle of Rathmines, d. in the castle
445
of Dublin fourteen days afterwards, a.d. 1649, and was s. by
his son (Ijy Mabell, dau. of Nicholas, Viscount Kingsland),
Luke, 3rd earl, who was restored to his estates and
honours, by the Court of Claims, and was a. at his decease
by his only son,
Peter, 4th earl. This nobleman was outlawed by the
name of Luke, in 1091, for his loyalty to his legitimate
sovereign, James II, but the outlawry was reversed in six
years afterwards, a.d. 1697. His lordship to. Frances, 3rd
dau. of Sir Edward Hales, Bart., and dying 24 Jan. 1717,
left issue,
Justin, his successor.
Margaret, m. to J.Nugent, Esq. of Coolamber.
Emilia, m. to Robert, Earl Nugent.
Mai-y, m. to Maurice O'Connor, Esq. of Mount Pleasant,
King's Co.
His lordship was s. by his only son,
Justin, 5th earl, who d. in 1733, without issue, and in-
testate, and was s. in his titles and estates, by his cousin and
heir male,
Robert, 6th earl (refer to George, 2nd son of Lucas, 1st earl);
who enjoyed the honours without opposition or question on the
part of the three daus. and heirs lineal of Peter, 4th earl. In
about a century afterwards, however, the grandson of the
youngest dau. Maurice O'Connor, Esq., made claim to the
Barony of Killeen, as a barony created by writ, and as such,
inheritable through females. Like all other claims of the same
nature, it has been unsuccessful, though brought forward at a
time when the feelings of the Irish government were violently
excited against the Earl of Fingall. Robert, 6th Earl of Fin-
gall, was a captain in Berwick's regiment, in the service of
France. He m. Mary, dau. of Roger Magenis, Esq. of Iveagh,
CO. Down; and dying in 1738, left, with a dau., Anne, wife of
William Saltmarsh, Esq. of Yorkshire, a son and successor,
Akthur-James, 7th earl, then in his seventh year. His lord-
ship m. in 1755, Henrietta-Maria, only dau. and heir of William
Wollascot,* Esq. of Woolhampton, co. Berks, by whom (who d.

children, Gerald Dease, Esq. of Turbotstown.
His lordship d. 21 Aug. 1793, and was s. by his son,
Akthur-James, 8th earl, K.P., 6. 9 Sept. 1759; who was
created a peer of the United Kingdom, 20 June, J 831, by the
title of Baron Fingall, of Woolhampton Lodge, co. Berks. He

in his History and Antiquities of Kiddingion, to be of the same
family as the Wellescots, or Welleumscots, who formerly
held that manor. " Of the name of Wellescote, corrupted from
Welleumscott, there is," says Mr. Wharton, " a family seated at
Woolhampton, near Newbury, in Berkshire. They write Wool-
lascote. The last heiress, as I apprehend, intermarried within
the Earl of Fingall, an Irish peer, within these last twenty years
(1773), who is now living in that place."

" Whoso is hungry, and lists to eate.
Let him come to Sprotburgh to his meate ;
And for a night, and for a day.
His horse shall have both corn and hay,
And no man shall ask him where he g^geth away."

2nd son of William Forbes, 4th Baron of O'Neil, and Laird of
Corse. This gentleman obtained large possessions in the cos.
of Aberdeen, Banff, Forfar, Edinburgh, <fcc., as appears from
several charters under the great seal. (See Douglas's Baronet-
age.) He completed the unfinished castle of Craigievar in
1626, after the most sumptuous style of the period, and took
his designation therefrom. The name of Craigievar, or, in
Gaelic, "Creg a Mliar," means the rock of Mar; and the place
from tradition derives considerable interest In its immediate
vicinity are two or three long trenches on the top of the hill ol
Corse, supposed to be a camp or fortification of Macbeth ; and
near this there are a great niunber of small tumuli, now over-
grown with short heath, the last memorials of those who fell
"when Birnam forest came to Dunsinane." At a small distance
from these, and upon the same hill, the spot is shown where
Macduff killed Macbeth ; and there is still a large cairn, called
Macbeth's, in which ancient arms were found some years
ago. William Forbest m. Margaret Udward, dau. of the lord-

culis a corjjore suo," with a grant of 16,000 acres in New
Brunswick, erected into a free barony and regality, to be called
" New Craigievar." Sir William commanded a troop of horse, and
was actively engaged on the side of the parliament during the
civil commotions. In 1641, he was appointed one of the com-
missioners for planting kirks and valuation of teinds; in 1644,

in the cathedral of St. Machar, with a complimentary inscrip-
tion on his gravestone.
T This gentleman was commemorated by the celebrated
Arthur Johnstone in the following lines : —
In obitum Gulielmi Forhesii Cragivarii
Nobilis hie tumulum Forbesi conspicis; audi
Qui fuerint mores, ingeniumque viri.
Quod labor est aliis, vitas dum carperet auras,
Divitias illi quferere Indus erat.
Cumque juberetur terris excedere, ridens.
Terra vale ! ctelo nunc potiemur, ait.
Qiias possedit opes, et terras jugera nemo
Jliretur, dominimi plus fuit esse sui !

This noble family deduces its origin from Sir Eichard le
Forte, a distinguished soldier in the invading army of Wiluam
THE CoNQUEKOK, who protected his royal master, at tlie cele-
brated battle of Hastings, by bearing a strong shield before
hmi ; from which event tlie French word escue (a shield) was
added to the original surname of Fort, and thus Fortescue

LisTON - FouLis, Sir James,
of Colin'ton and Ravelston (lineal
descendant of Sir John Foulis.
Bart, of Ravelston, which latter
dignity was forfeited by the 2nd
baronet, Sir Archibald Primrose,
who was beheaded for high trea-
son in 1745, at Carlisle) ; b. 3
July, 1847; s. his father as 9th
baronet, in 1 858, and has been an
officer 16th foot.
It is universally admitted that the surname of Foulis is of
Norman origin. The progenitor of the family came into
England, either at or before the Conquest, and his armorial
bearings being three leaves, caW&AfeuiUes, in the old Norman,
it is certain that the name was either given to the family
whilst residing in South Britain, or else assumed by the indi-
vidual who first took up his abode in Scotland in the reign of
Malcolm Ceanmohr, when surnames were for the first time
adopted.
James Foulis, Esq. of Colinton, son of Henry Foulis, by
Margaret Haldane, of Gleneagles, and 5th in descent from
William Foules, secretary to King James I., was living temp.
Queen Mart and James VI. of Scotland. He m. Anna Heriot,
heir of Lumphoy, and had four sons,
James, his successor.
George, who la. Janet Bannatyne, only child of the compiler
of the MSS. in the Advocate's Library, and was father c'
George, of Ravelston, who m. Jean, dau. of Sir John Sin-
clair, of Stevenston, and had a son, Sir John Fodlis, of
Ravelston, created a Baronet in 16G1, lineal ancestor of Sir
William Liston-Foulis, Bart.
David, progenitor of the English Baronets Foulis, of Ingleby
Manor, co. York.
John, of Leadhills, whose granddau., Anne, heir of Leadhills,
m. Sir James Hope, of Hopetoun, from whom the Earls of
Hopetoun descend.
This James Foulis was s. at his decease by his eldest son,
Sir James Foulis, Knt. This gentleman m. Mary, dau of
Sir John Lauder, of Hatton, and left, with a dau., Margaret,
wife of Louis Dick, Esq., an only son,
I. Alexander Foulis, Esq., who was created a Baronet of
Nova Scotia, with remainder to his heirs male whatsoever,
7 Jmie, 1G34. Sir Alexander m. Elizabeth, dau. of Robert
Hepburn, Esq. of Ford, great-granddau. of the Earl of Bothwell
and relict of the great sheriff of Bute (by whom she had a son,
the progenitor of the Marquess of Bute). By this lady Sir
Alexander had one dau., who was m. to the 1st Earl of Hadding-
ton, and an only son, his successor,
II. Sir James. This gentleman had the honour of knight-
hood conferred upon him during the lifetime of his father,
and was actively engaged in the unfortunate warfare which
ravaged Scotland after the death of Charles I. Having along
with others, attended a convention of the committee of estates,
at Elliot, in Angus, he was betrayed into the hands of the English,
and with his companions, the Earls of Leven. Crawford, Maris-
chal, Lord Ogilvy, and several gentlemen of rank, sui-prised
on Thursday morning, 28 Aug. 1651, by a squadron of dragoons,
commanded by Colonel Aldridge, who carried tlie whole party
to Brugty, and consigned them thence in a vessel to London.
After the restoration of the monarchy, Sir James was consti-
tuted, in 1661, one of the senators of the College of Justice,
and in 1684, appointed lord-chief-justice-clerk, which high
offices he held under the titulary designation of Lord Colinton.
His lordship m. Barbara, dau. of Alexander Ainslie, Esq. of
Dolphington, by whom he had two sons. He d. 19 Jan. 1618,
and was s. by the elder,
III. Sir James, a lord of Session, privy-councillor, and
member of the last Scottish parliament, in 1706, at which time
he joined the Dukes of Hamilton and Atholl, and many others
of the nobility and gentry, in their celebrated protest made by
Lord Erroll, the earl-mareschal, respecting the most consti-
tutional military defence of the house of legislature. He also
joined in the protest which declared that an incorporating
union of the two nations was inconsistent with the honour of
Scotland. Sir James had subsequently a seat in the first British
parliament. He m. Margaret, dau. of John Boyd, Esq., dean
of the guild of Edinburgh, descended of the family of Kilmar-
nock, by whom he had seven sons, of whom six died s. p. Sir
James d. in 1711, and was s. by his eldest son,
IV. Sir James; at whose decease, unm. in 1742, the title
devolved upon his nephew,
V. Sir James, eldest and only surviving son of Henry
403
Foulis, Esq., (3rd son of Sir James, the 3rd baronet,) by Jean,
dau. of James Foulis, Esq., merchant in Edinburgh, and niece
of Sir John Foulis, Bart, of Ravelston (so created in 1661).
This gentleman m. Mary, dau. of Archibald Wightman, by
whom he had two sons and three daus., and was s. at his
decease, in Jan. I79I, by his only surviving son,
VI. Sir James. This gentleman m. twice; 1st, a Spanish
lady ; and 2ndly, Miss Dallas ; but had no issue ; whereupon
Ihe title devolved upon his kinsman, James Foulis, Esq. of
tVoodhall, the late baronet, son of William Foulis, Esq., only
child of John Foulis, of Woodhall, whose father, William
Foulis, of Woodhall was 2nd son of Sir John Foulis, 1st Bart,
of Ravelston, by Margaret his wife, dau. of Sir Archibald
Primrose of Carrington, which Sir John of Kavelston was
cousin of the 1st Baronet of Colinton. The present Sir James
represents, therefore, the houses of Colinton, Woodhall, and
Ravelston. The 2nd Baronet of Ravelston (who was son of the
1st baronet's eldest son, George-Primrose Foulis, Esq., by whom
the lands of Dunihaec were inherited in right of his mother,
Margaret, dowager of Sir Archibald Primrose, and mother of
the 1st Earl of Rosebery) bore the designation of Sir Archibald
Primrose, of Razelston ; which Sir Archibald Primrose, m.

Etnrasc.
The Sire de Gacgi is named on the Roll of Battle Abbey
among those who fought at Hastings, and appears to have de-
rived his name from the seignory of Gaugy, near Rouen, in
Normandy. Ralph de Gahgi paid his aid as tenant in capite,
towards marrying the king's daughter in 1166. His son, Ro-
bert, was a strong adherent of King John in his wars with the
barons. He obtained Thornton and Langester, in the bishopric
of Durham, by marriage with Beatrice, dau. and heir of Robert
Lovel, by whom he had two sons, Ralph, the eldest, d. 1243,
whose son, of the same name, d. 1279 ; and his successor, Adam
DE Gahgi, dying s. p. in 1287, the estates passed to the De
CUffords.
William de Gauge, 2nd son of Robert, was made constable
of Caerma,rthen Castle, by Henrt III. in 1234, and received
from that monarch several grants of lands in South Wales and
Gloucestershire. From him the extant Gages derive ; and they
continued to reside at Cirencester, co, Gloucester, until the
death of John Gauge, or Gage (only son of John de Gauge, of
Cirencester), who had m. Joan, dau. and co-heir of John Sud-
grove, of Sudgrove-in-Miserden, co. Gloucester; and dying
circa 1440, was s. by his son.
Sir John Gage, Knt. of Burstowe, co. Surrey, who acquired
that seat, as well as Penshurst, in Kent and considerable estates
in Sussex and Buclcinghamshire, with his wife Eleanor, dau.
and co-heir of Thomas St. Clere (only son of Sir Philip St. Clere,
Knt. of Igtham, by Margaret, sole heir of Sir Nicholas de
Lovayne, Knt. of Burstowe, and gi'andson of Sir Philip St. Clere,
Knt., M.P. for Sussex in 1377). He d. in 1476, leaving two sons,
of whom John was ancestor of the Gages of Rashton, co.
Northampton, whilst the elder,
William Gage, s. to Burstowe. Penshurst, afterwards so cele-
brated as the property of the Sidneys, and the theme of Waller's
verse, being sold, this Williain formed a seat, where his heirs
still reside, at West Firle, on the manor of Heighton-St. Clere,
which had come to his mother's family by the marriage of John
de St. Clere (who d. 1327) with Isolda, sole heir of Thomas de
Aldham, of Igtham and Aldham, in Kent. Mr. Gage m. Agnes,
sister of John Bolney, of Bolney, in Sussex, M.P. for that co.
1459, and dying 1496, was s. at F'irle, by his son,
Sir John Gage, K.G., a distinguished soldier and statesman,
whose services are thus detailed in an ancient MS. by his 3rd
son Robert. " Sir John Gage, Knt. who was, after his father's
death, in ward to W. Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, and after
his marriage to my mother, dau. of Sir Richard Guldeford, was
preferred by the said duke to Henrt VI IPs service, and dis-
tinguished himself at the siege of Terovene, was thereupon
made captain of the castlo of Calais (usually called Guysnes),
shortly after was sent for home, and Imighted, and made of the
privy-council, vice-chamberiain, and captain of the guards ; few
years after, for services done on the borders of Scotland, at his
return, was made comptroller of the household, and chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster in one day. In a few days after he
was made constable of the Tower of London, and, the next
St. George's feast, knight of the most noble order of the Garter;
at the winning of Bullogne (36th Henrt VIII), he was in joint
commission with Charies, Duke of Suffolk, lord-lieutenant of
his majesty's camp; and for sundry services there with Sir
GAG
GAG
Anthony Browne, Knt., master of the horse, was niadc general
captain of the bands of horsemen. After the death of our
sovereign lord Edward VI, at the coining of Queen Maet, was
made her lord-chamberlain. Thus, having served in all these
rooms and offices truly, faithfully, and painfully, from the 1st
year of our sovereign lord Henry VI 1 1, of famous memory, unto
the 5th year of Queen Mart, imtouched with any reproach or
unfaithful sei-vice, at this time benig 77 years of age, he ended
his life, in favour with his prince, at his own house, at Firle, in
Sussex."

llilnese, and other lands, by grants from the new monarch.
His eldest son,
Robert, was Lord of EUenhall, &c., and in the reign of
Henry 1. had a gr.int of the greatest part of Gainsborough,
in the co. of Warwick, from Lawrence, the prior of Coventry,
and the monks of that house. In the reign of Henry II. he
founded the priory of Raunton, or Ronton, near EUenhall,
Ids chief seat, for Canons Regular of St. Augustine. This
Robert had two sons,
I. Thomas, .sheriflf of Staffordshire for seven year.s, in the
reign of IIknby II., and for one year upon the accession

Henry VIII. he was sheriff of the co. of Rutland, as he
was afterwards, both in the reign of Edward VI. and in
that of Mary. In 1548 he purchased the seat and manor of
Brook, in Rutlandshire, and was elected for that county in
the first parliament of Queen Mary. He m. 1st, Elizabeth,
dau. aud heir of John Hoptou, Esq. of Hopton, in Shrop-
shire, and widow of Sir John Periont, by whom he had
Andrew, his heir, and several other children. He espoused,
2ndly, Dorothy, dau. of Richard Conyers, Esq. of Wakerley,
in the co. of Northampton, widow of Roger Flower, Esq ,
by whom he had one son,

Baronet in 1660, and was ancestor of
Sir Edward Noel, who s. to the Barony of Went-
worth in 1762, and was created Viscount Went-
WORTII. The viscounty is extinct, and the barony
is now held by Ralpli-Gordun-Mool, Vi-scount Ock-
ham, son of the Earl of Lovelace (see Wentworth,
Baron).
Mr. Noel was s. at his decease by the eldest son of his first
marriage,
Sir Andrew Noel, Knt. of Dalby, in the co. of Leicester,
who was a person of great note in the time of Elizabeth,
living in such magnificence as to vie with noblemen of the
largest fortunes. Fuller, in his Worthies of England,
saitb, that this Andrew, "for per.5on, parentage, grace,
gesture, valour, and many other excellent parts (amongst
which skill in music), was of the first rank in the court."
He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, aud became a
favourite, but the expences in which he was involved
obliged him to sell his seat and manor at Dalby. Her
majesty is said to have made the foUowing distich upon his
name —
"The word of denial, and letter of fiftj'.
Is that gentleman's name who will never be thrifty."
He was thrice sheriff of the co. of Rutland, and member for
that shire in several parliaments during the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. Sir Andrew m. Mabel, 6th dau. of Sir James

* The name of Sir Bapti.?t Hicks, who was a magistrate
for Middlesex, is honourably connected with that county,
from his munificent gift of a Sessions House, called from
him " Hicks's Hall." Stowe, in his Chronicles, thus relates
the circumstance: — "The King (James 1.), by his letters
patent, dated the 7th of June, in the seventh year of his
Majesty's reign, did enfeofl' 15 knights and esquires of the
county of Middlesex, of a piece of ground being in St. John
Street, in the county of Middlesex, to be for ever held and
emjiloyed as a Sessions House for ye county, and for the
keeping of a prison or house of correction for ye same
county ; upon which piece of ground aforesaid, and accord-

Hicks, Knt., one of the justices of the county, builded a
very stately Sessions House of brick and stone, with all
offices thereunto belonging, at his own proper charges ; and

which time this house was fully finished, there assem'oled

On the breaking out of the civil war Lord Noel raised forces
for the royal cause, aud departed this life in his garrison at
Oxford, b March, 1(343, and his widow erected a handsome
mural monument to his memory in Carapden church. Lord
Noel was s. by his elder son,
Baptist Noel, second Bai-on Noel, and tliird Viscount
Campden. This nobleman was as faithful a cavalier as his
father, and raised a troop of horse and company of foot for
the service of the kiug. For his estates he was obliged
to pay to the sequestrators £9,000 composition, and an
annuity of £150 settled on the Teachers of the period. He
sustained the loss of his princely seat at Campden, which
had been burnt down by the royal army to prevent its
becoming a garrison to the parliamentarians. His lordship
lived to witness the restoration of the monarchy, and was
made lord-lieutenant of the co. of Rutland. He m. 1st,

den, who had been created by King Charles II., by letters
patent, dated 3 Feb. 1681, Baron Noel, of Tltchfield, with
remainder, default of male issue, to the younger sons of
his father, and was advanced to the dignity of Earl of

Portsmouth. He m. 1st, Lady Elizabeth Wriothesley, dau.

founder, who then freely gave the same house to them and
their successors for ever. Until this time the justices of
Middlesex held their usual meeting in a common inn called
the Castle."
The erection of this Sessions House, from 1610 to 1612, cost
Sir Baptist about £800. Prior to its construction, the magis-
trates used to meet at the Castle close by. Hicks's Hall lasted
more than a centurj' aud a half, when, falling into a ruinous
condition, an application was made to parliament in 1778 to
rebuild it. A piece of freehcjkl ground was purchased on
Clerkenwell Green, and the present edifice raised thereabout
17S2. In the committee room is a handsome chimney-piece,
carved in woodffeiHji. James I.), removed tVom the old hall;
and in the dining room a portrait, in a fine state of pre-
servati. n, of Sir Baptist Hicks, also removed from the former

ancestor of the whole royal line of Stuart; and a youngei son.
Sir John Stewart, who obtained from his father the
lands of Garlies. This Sir John Stewart was a great hero
and patriot, and was one of those worthies who, wliea
King Alexander III. died, entered into that memorable
association, the members of which bound theniseives ta
stand by one another in defence of their country and of
him who by right of blood should inherit Scotland's crown.
This historic obligement bears date 20 Dec. 1286- Sir John
475
Stewart was among the nobles chosen on the part of
Robert Bruce in his competition for the Scoctish throne
with John Baliol in 1292. Stewart performed many

vaUantly against the English at the battle of Falkirk, 22
July, 1298. He m. Margaret, dau. and heir of Sir Alex-

The tkird son.
Sir Walter Stewart was a gallant adherent of Robert
Bruce, and shared in that prince's toils and glories. When
Bruce had won his trown, he gave to this faithful and able
follower, the lands and ban.ny of Dalswinton. Sir Walter
Stewart also obtained the Barony of Garhes from John Ran-
dolph, Earl of Moray, by charter, wherein the earl deno-
minates Sir W^alter his uncle. Sir Walter Stewart was
father of
Sir John Stewart, of Dalswinton, who, true to the
attachment of his race to the house of Bruce, was, according
to Rymer, made prisoner (when King David Bruce was
also taken) at the battle of Durham, in 1346. He was like-
wise one of the hostages for King David in 1357. This Sir
John left issue.
Sir Walter Stewart, of Dalswinton and Garlies, a per-
sonage of note temp. Robert II. and Robert III. He had
an only child and heir,

worth, sheriff of Tiviotdale (said to be of the house of
Daniley), and left two sons, William ; and John, provost
of Glasgow. The elder son,
Sir William Stew.^rt, of Dalswinton and Garlies, ob-
tained the estate of Minto, in 1429, after much opposition
from the Tumbulls, the former possessors. He was living
in the year 1479, and had issue,
Andrew, who d. before his father, s. p.

wife, Ehzabeth Kennedy, one son and sixteen daus., the
eldest of whom, Janet, was to. to Sir John Kennedy, of
Gulzean, and each of the others became the wife of a laird
of distinction. Sir Alexander was s. by his only son,
Sir Alexander Stewart, of Garlies, who was one of the
prisoners taken at the rout of Solway, in Nov. 1542; and
appears to have been released, in 1543, on giving his son
and heir Alexander, as his hostage. He 7n. thrice, and

Dunbar, Esq. of Clugston, with other issue, an eldest son,
Alexander Stewart, the younger, of Garlies, who was a
personage of great braveiy and spirit, and was a zealous
promoter of the Reformation. He sent a challenge to the
famous Sir William Kirkaldy, of Grange, governor of
Edinburgh Castle for the Queen ; but sir William evaded
the rencontre, from caution, nut from fear, because he
deemed his Ute at that time of the utmost consequence to
his sovereign. Alexander Stewart was appointed com-
missioner for the Kirks of Nithsdale, and was a member
of the convention or parliament that met in 1560. He
was knighted when Lord D.arnley was made Earl of
Ross, and was one of those who .signed a protection,
together with Queen Mart's privy council, to the Ear) of

1300, and one of the ten commissioners elected at the
general council of the Scottish nation at Perth, invested
with full parliamentary powers for the settlement of
Scotland, under King Edward I. in 1305; that same year
he was fined three years' rent of his estates foi- his former
opposition to that monarch. Sir Adam, together with the
Earl of Atholl and others, was sent in January, 1311, by
King Edward II., to make a truce with the Scots, for
which they had ample powers ; lie afterwards joined the
standard of Bruce. In 1320, King Robert I. sent him as
one of the ambassadors to Rome, to obtain a repeal of the
sentence of excommunication against him. As a reward
for the faithful services of Sir Adam, King Robert made
him a grant of tlie barony of Strathbogie, in Aberdeenshii-e,

Sir John de Gordon, his sou, who obtained from King
Robert II. a charter, confirming the grant of the lands of
Strathbogie which King Robert I. had made to his great-
grandfather, Adam de Gordon, Knt. The Earl of March,
in 1377, having burned the town of Roxburgh, the EngUsh
borderers retaliated on the lands of Sir John de Gordon,

Lilburn, whom he defeated at Carbam, after a desperate
affray. This gallant warrior fell at the battle of Otterburn,
19 August, 1388, leaving a son.

dau. of Sir William de Keith, great marischal of Scotland,
he had an only child,
Elizabeth de Gordon, m. to Alexander Seton, son of
Sir William Seton, of Seton, thenceforth styled Alexander
de Seton, Dominus de Gordon et Huntly; he was engaged
in the battle of Harlaw (1411), in the wars in France (1421),
among the Scottish forces sent to assist the dauphin ; but
that same year, at the desire of King James I., who wss
then the prisoner of Henry V., he came over to England,
and was one of the ten commissioners to treat for the
release of that monarch, and became one of the hostages
for his ransom in 1424, when the annual revenue of .Alex-
ander, Lord of Gordon and Huntly, was stated at 400 marks.

John Gordon, of Earlston, (/. in 1028, and was «. by his son,
Alexander, 2nd Gordon of Earlston, M.P. ; h. 1587 ; who
sat in the Scottish parliament for the co. of Kirkcudbright.
He was a stanch royalist, yet one who attracted particularly
the notice of Charles I., for the undaunted courage with
which, in his place, he maintained that the wearing the Scot-
tish Crown involved no right (as in England) to the headship
of the Church of .Scotland, and reminded his Majesty of the
act called the Confession of Faith. His whole line of conduct
procured for him the sohriqint of " The Earl of Earlston," a
title Charles I. had once jocularly bestowed upon him in a
conversation with Lord Galloway, Earlston's kinsman. An
offer of a Baronetcy was made to Earlston, but declined. He

son, entered the university, and took his degree; but on the
death of his elder brother, entered the army. He felt, like his
father and his countrymen in general, great resentment at the
execution of Charles I.; he upheld the right of Charles II.
to the Scottish throne ; he gloried in the placing of that crown
on his Majesty's brow at Scone in 1651, and he joined in those
movements that ultimately led to his restoration to the English
crown, in 1600. Earlston jx. 26 Nov. 1648, Mary, 2nd dau. of

William Gordon of Earlston was slain at Bothwell Bridge,
22 June, 1679; and was s. in his estate by his eldest son,
Alexander, afterwards Sir Alexander, the 2nd baronet. The
2nd son,
I. Sir William Gordon, of Afton, Bart., b. 1654, sought at
first his fortune abroad, lie joined in 1670 the army of
Frederick, the great Duke of Brandenburgh, and was for
fifteen years engaged in const.Tut active military service.
Subsequently joining in the projected descent of Monmouth
and Argyle, he landed on the west coast of Scotland with
the latter, 27 May, 1685, while Monmouth landed on the south
of England. Sir William made his escape after the failure of
these expeditions, and rejoined the Prussian army He then
formed part of the Prince of Orange's more successful expedi-
tion, landing at Torbay with that prince, 5 Nov. 1688 Sir
AVilliam was again actively in the field when William III. was
"with heroic constancy contendiri^ against the superior forces
of France." Indeed, three 'leys after his marriage he was
called to embark for Flanders, to take the field with his
regiment (the 25th); the French king having laid siege to
Namur. He fought again at Steinkirk in July, 1692, and
remained on the Continent till 1698, being in all King
William's battles, down to the peace of Ryswick in 1697,
and attaining the rank of lieut.-col. He was frequently
wounded : two of these wounds being gun-shot, he was obliged
to take now a less active sphere. He enjoyed, for them,
pensions to the value of £182 a-year. He was allowed to
retain the value of a company in bis own regiment, and he was
made Governor of Fort William, in Scotland. He was, more-
over, honoured, 9 July, 1706, with a Scotch baronetcy, with
remainder thereof, failing heirs of his own body, to his brother
Alexander, and the heirs of his body. Sir William )/,. 26 Feb.
1692, Mary, dan. of Sir George Campbell, of Cessnock, but by
this lady (who survived him till 1733) he had no issue; and
while her ladyship's estates went to her sister the Countess of
Marchmont, the title of baronet, and his own estate of Afton,
went, at his death, in Dec. 1718, to his brother,
II. Sir Alexander Gordon, of Earlston, b. 1650. This
gentleman's name is conspicuous in Scottish history. He
escaped to Holland after the battle of Bothwell Bridge; and
in his absence was (19 Feb 1681) declared guilty of treason,
and adjudged to suffer death when taken; while forfeiture
of his estates was decreed. He was sometime afterwards
captured on board ship, and on 21 Aug. 1683 ordered to be
beheaded in virtue of the old sentence. But as there was a
wish to put some questions to him, the execution was deferred;
and he was reconsigned to prison till a point of some difficulty!
connected with his examination, should be answered in London:
the question being, " Whether one under a sentence of death
could be put to question by torture." To which answer was
made, " Yes, as to any crimes after condemnation " (meaning
the condemnation of 1680) ; and it was accordingly resolved to
examine him upon events of which he might be cognisant, for
the period of three years and a-half, between Feb. 1680 and
Aug. 1683. The examination is given in Bishop Sprat's Eye
House Plot, with which he had, as it came out, been unjustly
charged; and of which he declared his ignorance, when
believed to be on his death-bed, 7 Dec. 1683. His state of
health did not admit of his being put to the torture more than
being examined with the instruments before his eyes. He was
detained a close prisoner thereafter successively in the Castle
of Edinburgh, on the Bass Rock, and in Blackness Castle, till
5 Jan. 1689, when the Revolution released him. During his
nearly six years' imprisonment he spent part of his time in
wood carving, and executed some pieces, curiously descriptive
of his times and family. He had a good taste in heraldry,
which formed another amusement. He had, on coming of age
in 1671, introduced the bezant into his coat of arms, as indi-
cative of his maternal descent. He «i. 1st, 16 Nov. 1676, Janet

Maukice, Lord of Premlergast, in Pembrokeshire, " a righte
valiaunte captain," says HoUnshed, was one of the Norman
knights who united with Strongbow, Earl of Pembroke, in the
invasion of Ireland. He landed in May. 1169, at the head of
ten knights and two hundred archers, took a prominent part in
the successful war which followed, and obtained an ample share
of the conquered lands. In 1177, he gave his castle of Prender-
gast, in Wales, to the knights of St. John of Jei-usalem ; and
eventually joining that order, was prior of Kilmainham at his
death in 1205. From Gerald, his yoimgest son, descended the
Prendergasts of Mayo, whose Irish title of MacMaurice gave
name to the barony of Clanmon-es, and of wliich family Lord
Oranmore rci^resents the Castle Macgarret branch, whilst his
eldest son,
Philip de Prendergast, was summoned as a baron in 1206,
1207, and 1221. He m. Maude, dau. and heir of Robert do
Quincy, with whom he acquired the town of Enniscorthy and
constableship of Leinster. He d. 1226, leaving issue, Gerald,
his heir; William, of whom hereafter; and David, who was in
tlie hands of liis kinsman Sayer de Quincy, earl of Winchester, as
a hostage for the loyalty of the Earl of Pembroke during the
Barons' War, but was released by royal wTit signed at Rminy-
mede, 12 June, 1215, during the conferences with the barons,
which residted in the grant of Magna Charta. The eldest son,

whom he had an only dau., Maria, wife of John, Lord Cogan.

Matilda, who m. Maurice de Rochfort; and dying in 1251, his
estates, including forty knights' fees in Wexford and Cork, fell
to their issue as co-heirs, wliilst the representation of the
family devolved on liis brother,
William de Prendergast, younger son of Philip : he obtained
the lordship of Newcastle, co. Tipperary, from Jeffrey de Ma-
risco, circa 1230, in exchange for other lands. By his wife
Alianore, who appears to have been co-heir of William de Ber-
mingham ; lie had issue, John and Jeffrey, of whom the former
d. s. p. in 1275, when his brotlier,
Jeffrey de Prendergast, .?. to Newcastle. Richard, Lord
Slaue, however, contested his right thereto ; and Piers de Ber-
G O R
G 0
mingham seized his castle of Mullougb, which lie recovered at
law in 1276, but it was burnt by Lord Slane in the following
year. He was summoned to the parliament of 1281, and fined
one hundred shillings for being absent. His eldest son,
SiK Philip de Pkendergast was involved in further litiga-
tion with Lord Slane. He d. 1303, leaving tliree sons, Jeffhey,
his heir; Maurice, whose son John, though blind, eventually
inherited Newcastle, and was ancestor to Viscount Gort ; and
Sir Philip, of Drangan, co. Tiijperary. The eldest son,
Jeffeet de Pkendergast m. Isolda, dau. of Piers, 3rd
Lord Athenry, whose ward he had been. He was sheriff of Tip-
perary in 1327. To him, Baldwin, Lord Slane, gave up his claim
to the manor of Newcastle, by a deed dated 13 Jan. 1311,
enrolled in the Court of Exchequer in Ireland: and as this
estate continued henceforth in the undisputed i)ossession of
this family, we shall at once proceed to
James FitzThomas Prendekgast, Esq. of Newcastle, who m.
Eleanor, dau. of Sir John Grace, Knt. of Courtstown, and d.
3 Feb. 1575, leaving several sons, of whom, Edmond, of Tul-
laghmelan, was M.P. for Tipperary in 1585 ; whilst the eldest,

12 Marcli, 1615, leaving issue by her (who became co-heir to the
Barony of Cahir under the limitations in the patent, on the
death of her half-brother, the 2nd baron, in 1559), Thomas, his
heir ; James, d. s. p. ; Robert, of Bally beg ; and Kichard. The
eldest son,

John Butler, and sister of Walter, 11th Earl of Ormonde, by
whom he had issue, James, his heir; Robert, d. s. p.; and
Edmond, of whom hereafter. He m. 2ndly, EUen, dau. of
Nicholas White, Esq., and had a dau., Margaret. In 1583, being
then under age, he joined, at Queen Elizabeth's reqviest, in a
surrender of the title and estate of Cahir to Sir Theobald Butler,
the male heir of that family, to whom the Queen granted them
by a new patent under which they descended to the Earls of
GlengaU. He d. 1 March, 1626 ; and Thomas, 2nd Lord Cahir
of the new creation, dying soon after, without male issue, his
eldest son,

1817; s. as 3rd barouet, ui^on the
decease of his fathsr, 27 Jan.
1841.
Htncasc
The old .and eminent family of Grace ranks amongst
the earliest of the Anglo-Norman settlors in Ireland. Under
the banner of Richard de Clare, the well-known Strong-
bow, Raviiond Fitz-Walter, .surnamed Le Gros, landed
in that kingdom, became subsequently (anno 1176) its
viceroy, and marrying Basilia de Clare, Stronghow's sister,
acquired the extensive district in the county of Kilkenny,
still denominated " The Cantred of Grace's Country. " To
this gallant soldier the Graces trace their foundation ; and
now, at nearly the close of seven centuries, it is but justice
to observe, that the bright fame of the illustrious founder
has passed untarnished through the long line of his dis-
tinguished descendants. Raymond Le Gros had two sons,
William, liis heir.
Maurice Fitz-Raymond, Lord of Lixnaw and Clanmorris,
ancestor of the noble house of Fitzmaurico, Earls of Kerry.
"William Le Gros, or Fitz-Raymond,* the eldest son of
Raymond, became Baron of Courtstown, or Tullaroan, and
Lord of Grace's Country. Ho r,i. Margaret, dau. of Robert
Fitz-Warren, of Wales; but we pass from him to his
descendant (the twelfthf in succession).
Sir John Le Orgs (surnamed Crios iarainn. The Iron-
belted), Baron of Courtstown, and Lord of Grace's Country,
living in 1.520 and 15.J4. He m. Catherine, dau. of Pierce,
* From a younger brother of this William Le Gros, Maurice
derive the Earls of Kerry. '
t The intermediate feudal lords of Courtstown allied with tlie
Carews, the Fitzpatricks (Princes of Upper Ossory), the
Macmoroughs (Princes of Leinster), the Benninghams (Lords of
Athenry), the Barrys, the Le Peers, the O'SIeagheks (the first
Milesian match they were permitted "for the better preserva-
tion of the peace" to make), and with other houses equally
potent in those turbulent times.

GEAHAM.
Geaham, Sir Robert -James-
Stuart, of Esk, CO. Cumberland,
i. 2 Dec. 1845; s. his father as
10th Bart., 27 May, 1864.
This family claims descent from the renowned Geaeme,
who, anno 404, commanded King Fergus II. 's army, and
was governor of Scotland in the minority of his grand-
child, Eugene II. In the year 420, this gallant person made
a breach in the mighty wall which the Emperor Severus had
erected between the rivers Forth and Clyde, which has ever
since borne the name of Graeme's Dyke. From the time of
this eminent man, the Graemes are to be found in the records
of Scotland, enjoying the very highest influence ; but our
limits prohibit individual detail ; we therefore pass to
SiE David Graham, of Montrose, who was taken prisoner
with King David Bruce, at the battle of Durham, in 1346,
and whose son,
Sir Patrick Graham, Lord of Dundaflf and Kincardine,
was appointed one of the hostages for the said King David's
ransom, in 1357. This Sir Patrick m. twice : from his first
man-iage descend the Dukes of Montrose ; and of the
second (with Eupheme, dan. of Sir John Stewart, of Rail-
ston, brother to King Robert II.) there was a son.
Sir Robert Graham, Knt. of EUeston, who m. Eupheme,
only dau. and heir of David Stewart, Earl of Strathem, and
obtained in consequence that earldom. (From this alliance
the family quarters the royal arms of Stuart). This Su- Robert
being slain by Sir John Drummond, 1413, was s. by his son,
Malise, Earl of Strathem, who changed the title to Men-
teith, that of Strathem bemg annexed to the royal house by
King Robert II. This nobleman m. Anne, dau. of Heiu-y
Vere, Earl of Oxford, and had three sons and two daus. ;
the 2nd of which sons.
The Hon. Sir John Graham, of Kilbride, called Jo7i7i
with the bright sword, left
Richard Graham, from whom are lineally descended the
Grahams of the borders, both of the Enghsh and Scottish side,
but chiefly the houses of Netherby and Plomp, co. Cumberland.
Fergus Graham, Esq. of Plomp, m. Sibill, dau. of Wil-
liam Bell, Esq. of God's Brigg, in North Britain, and had
foiu' sons ; the 2nd of whom,
I. Richard Graham, Esq., gentleman of the horse to
James I., was created a Baronet, 20 March, 1629, by the
.style of Sir Richard Graham, of Esk, co. Cumberland. This
gentleman purchased Netherby and the barony of Liddell,
in the same county, of Francis, Earl of Cumberland. Sii-
Richard subsequently distmguished himself under the royal
banner, particularly at Edge-Hill, where he was severely
wounded, and lay amongst the slain for an entire night. He
m. Catherine, dau. and co-heir of Sir Thomas Mu.sgrave, of
Cumcatch, Cumberland, and was s. in 1653, by his elder son
(the j'oimger, Richard, was created a Baronet in 1662 — see
Graham of Norton-Conyers),
II. Sir George, who m. Lady Mary Johnston, dau. of
James, 1st Earl of Hartfell, and si.ster of James, Earl of
Annandale, and had, with other issue,
I. Richard, his successor, of whom presently.
II. WiUiani, in holy orders, D.D., and dean of CarUsle and
Wells, clerk of the closet and chaplain to Queen Anne ; d.
in 1712, and left issue,
1 Charles, in holy orders, rector of South Church, in
Essex, ra. PrisciUa Billingley, of Tottenham, and by her
(who m. 2ndly, Joseph Bezeley, Esq.) had issue,
William, in holy orders, who inlierited the baronetcy
upon the decease of the last Viscount Preston.
Thomas-Fane-Charles, in holy orders, m. Anne, dau. ot
Joseph Harrington, Esq. of Clare, co. Suffolk, and widow
of the Rev. Francis Greenwood, by which 1st husband
she hart an only son, Charles Greenwood, Esq., the
eminent army-agent, and a dau., Anne, m. to Thomas
Hammersley, Esq. of Pall Mall.
Bridget, m. to Thomas Elkington, Esq. of Coventry.
2 Robert, in holy orders, D.D., who succeeded to the
Preston estates upon the decease of Lady Widdrington.
Sir George d. in 1657, and was s. by his eldest son,
III. Sir Richard, who was advanced, in 16S0, to the
peerage of Scotland, as Viscount Preston, and took his seat
in the Scottish parhament in that dignity. His lordship
507
G E A
was British ambassador to the court of France for many
years, and subsequently secretary of state to James II.
Upon the Revolution, the viscount was committsd to the
Tower but soon released from imprisonment. Being after-
wards, however, apprehended in an attempt to escape to
his old master in France, he was sent to Newgate, arraigned
for high-treason, and condemned, but pardoned, through
the intercession of his friends, under the sign-man\ial, in
June, 1691. He m. Anne, 2ud dau. of Charles Howard,
1st Earl of Carlisle, by whom he had (with two daus.) his
successor, in 1695,
IV. Edward, as 2nd viscount (the attainder of the
deceased lord not affecting the Scottish peerage, as no act
of forfeiture passed against him in Scotland). His lordship
rn. Mary, dau. and co-heir of Sir Marmaduke Dalton, of
Hawkswell, co. Tork ; and dying 1 709, was s. by his only son,
V. Charles, 3rd viscount, who rn. Anne, dau. of Thomas

follows : —
SiK James Grant, of that ilk, a man of bold and daring
disposition, of good parts, and in great favour with James V.,
from whom he obtained a charter, exempting him from attend-
ance in court of judicature whatsoever, for his good services
done and to be done, &c., dated Stirling, anno 1.535 ; after
wards got a charter under the great seal, from Queen Mary,
"Jacobo de Freuchy, Terrarum de Lochelsh, Lochcarron,
Lochbrine, &c.," in Invernesshire, dated 4 March, 1548. He

He rii. 2ndly, Lady Barbara Erskine, a dau. of the family of
Mar, by whom he had two sons,
John, his heir, who carried on the line of his family ; and
Archibald Grant, who got a charter under the great seal,
"Archibaldo Grant, fratri Johannis Grant de Freuchy, &c.,"
dated 8 March, 1580. lie was father of the Grants of Ballen-

Archibald J. in 1717, and was s. by his eldest son,

such ability and integrity as an advocate, that soon after the
511
G R A
Revolution, he was appointed one of the senators of the College
of Justice, by the title of Lord Cullen, from an estate which he
possessed in Buchan. About the end of the 17th century, he
acquired the estate of Monymusk, and fixed his residence there.
In 1705, he was raised to the dignity of a Baronet of Nova
Scotia by Queen Anne; and 17 May, 1720, he received a special
warrant, under the hand of his Majesty George I., granting
him the unusual armorial addition of a bordure ermine, as a.
testimony of his sovereign's favour, and a memorial of his
judicial eminence ; together with two angels as supporters, the
motto "Suuni cuique,"" on a scroll above, and the motto
"Jehovah Jireh," on a scroll below— the only instance in
Scottish heraldry of a Hebrew motto. He early foresaw the
important advantages that would accrue to Scotland from a
union with England; and to this great measure he gave his
zealous and influential support. He was endued with great
mental qualities. Exalted piety, inflexible integrity, and un-
bomuled benevolence, shone in every action of his life; and
among his many generous acts he bequeathed a stun of money
to build and endow a school in the northern part of the parisli
of Monymusk, which was executed some ye.irs ago, is now in
full operation, and is attended by highly beneficial consequences
to all classes, especially to the children of the indigent, who
receive a free education. He //(. 1st, Jean, dau. of the Rev.

great proficiency in the law, was promoted, in 1745, to the
office of his majesty's advocate for Scotland. He represented
the boroughs of Elgin, &c. in parliament, and for his
valuable services, he was appointed one of the senators of
the College of Justice, and a commissioner of the Court of
Justiciary, by the title of Lord Prestongrange. These high
offices he filled with the becoming dignity of a learned, able,
and impartial judge. He m. a dau. of the Rev. — Millar,

peerage of Scotland, s. her brother 31 Jan. 1867.
iLiuraflr.
The family of Gray or Grey is descended from RoUo,
chamberlain to Robert, Duke of Noi-mandy, who had from
him a grant of the castle and honour of Croy, in Picardy,
from whence his posterity assumed their surname, which
was afterwards written Gray or Grey. The orthography is
indifferent, Gray having been the usual mode of spelling in
ancient times in England, as well as in Scotland. RoLLO
was father of John, lord of Gray, whose son, Anschetil de
Gray, was one of William the Conqueror's companions
in arms at the battle of Hastings, and is recorded in the
Doomsday survey as lord of many manors and lordships in
the counties of Oxford and Buckinghana. Anschetil de
Gray was father of Richard de Gray, who flourished in
the reign of Kuig Henry I. He was father of Anschetil
de Gray', who had two sons, both named John", one of
whom was made Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1206. He
was, by King John, appointed lord-deputy of Ireland, and
d. in 1214. His elder brother, John de Gray, had a son,
Henry de Gray, who was high in favovir with King
Richard I. and King John. Walter de Gray, who was
probably brother of Henry, was made lord high chancellor
by King John, and in the 17th year of that king's reign,
was made Archbishop of York. Henry de Gray had several
sons,
I. Robert, "^ of Rothei-field, whose male line ended in Robert,
Lord Grey of Rotherfield, in the reign of King Richard II.
II. Richard de Gray, whose principal seat was at Codnor, in
Derbyshire. He was ancestor of the Lords Grey of Codnor,
whose male line failed in the reign of King Henry VII.
III. John, from whom the most illustrious branches of the
house of Grey have sprung. He was high in the favour of
King Henry HI., and (?. in the 50th year of that king's reign.
He was father of Reginald, Lord Grey, of Wilton and Ruthvn,
who had issue, John, Lord Grey, of Wilton and Ruthyn, who
(/. in the 17th year of King Edward II. He had issue, 1
Henry, Lord Grey, of Wilton, from whom descended a long
line of Lords Grey de Wilron, the last of whom, Thomas,
Lord Grey de Wilton, </. without issue, in 1614, and his in-
heritance was carried by his sister Bridget, into the family
of Egerton, created, in 1801, Earl of Wilton ; 2 Roger, Lord
Grey de Ruthyn, the ancestor of the illustrious 'house of
Grey, Earl of Kent. The elder line of this great family
failed in Henry, Earl of Kent, who d. without issue, in 1639,
• Dugdale states that Robert of Rotherfield, and Walter,
archbishop of York, w-ere the sons of Henry de Gray, while
Collins states lh.it they were his brothers. It would seem from
the chronology that Waller, at all events, must have been bro-
ther of Henry.

when his sister Susan carried the barony of Grey de Kutliyn
into the family of Longueville, and from them, througli the
Yelvertons, Earls of Sussex, into that of the Marquis of
Hastings. The younger line of Earls of Kent attained to
dueal rank, in the person of Henry, Duke of Kent, in 1710;
hut on his death, in 1740, his earldom and dukedom became
extinct. He is represented as eldest co-heir in the female
line by Earl De Grey. A younger branch of the Lords Grey
de Euthyn attained to the highest importance. It was
founded by Edward Gkey, uncle to the first Earl of Kent,
who acquired, by marriage, the barony of Ferrers of Groby.
His eldest son, John, Lord Grey, of Groby, m. Elizabeth
Wydville, afterwards queen of King Edward IV., by whom
he liad issue, Thomas Grey, created Marquis of Dorset, by
his stepfather, in the 15th year of his reign. His grandson,
Henry, Marquis of Dorset, 'in. Lady Frances Brandon, grand-
dau. to King Henry VII., was created Duke of Suffolk, and
was beheaded in 1554. His unfortunate dau., Jane, was
seated for a few days upon the throne of England. From
his younger brother John, the Earls of Stamford are de-
scended.
IV. William de Gray was seated at Sandiacre, in the co. oi
Derby, and was ancestor of the Greys of Sutton, whose in-
heritance passed, by a dau., to the family of Leek, Earl of
Scarsdale.
V. Henry de Gray.
These families of Grey bore for arms, barry of six, argent
and azure, in chief three torteauxes. There is also a family
of the name, of great antiquity, in the co. of Suffolk, de-
scended from the same stock, and bearing the same arms,
viz., De Grey, Lord Walsingham, so created in 17S0.
Another great branch of the house of Gray has been seated
for ages, with baronial rank, in the north of England, vi^ho
have adopted different armorial bearings, viz., gnles, a lion
rampant, v^ithin a border, engrailed, argent. The ancestor
of this family was Sir John de Grey, of Berwj-ke, in the co. of
Northumberland, who was living in 1372. He was father
of
Sir Thomas Gbey, of Berwyke and Chillingham, who d.
in 1402, and left issue, by Jane, dau. of John Mowbray,
Duke of Norfolk,
I. John Grey, who acquired the lordship of Powis, by mar-
riage with Joan, eldest dau. and co-heir of Edward Charlton,
lord of Powis. He was created Earl of Tankerville, in Nor-
mandy, by King Henry V., and was slain in the 9th year of
that king's reign. The title of Lord Powis descended in his
famUy for five generations, when Edward, Lord Powis, d.
without issue, in 1551.
II. Thomas Grey, of Werke. He was the ancestor of Sir
Ealph Grey, of Chillingham, and his younger brother. Sir
Edward Grey, of Howick, from whom Earl Grey is descended.
Sir Ealph was living in 1615. His son William was, in 1623,
created Lord Grey, of Werke, and his grandson, Forde
Grey, was, in 1695, created Earl of Tankerville. His only
dau. m. Charles Bennett, Lord Ossulston, who, in 1714, was
created Earl of Tankerville.
The Grays of Scotland are descended from the same stock
with the house of Chillingham, and the armorial bearings
of the different families of the name in Scotland and in
Northumberland are identical.
Hnoo DE Gray appears in Scotland as witness to a charter
of Walter de Lundin before 1248.
John de Gray is vntness to many donations to the monas-
tery of Coldstream, in the reign of King Alexander III.
Sir Hugh de Gray and Henry de Gray were among
those Scottish barons who .swore fealty to King Edward L,
in 1296.
Sir Andrew Gray was one of the barons who joined
King Egbert Bruce when he ascended the Scottish throne,
in 1306. In consideration of his services he obtained from
that monarch a grant, " Andreas Gray militi dilecto et fideli
no.stro," of all the lands and tenements which belonged to
Sir Edward de Hastings, Knt., within the barony of Long-
forgund, the third part of the lands of Craigie, Wairiston,
and Milton, in Forfarshire, dated in February, in the 9th
year of his reign, 1314-15. He had also from King Robert
Bruce, charters of the lands of Broxmouth. He is witness
to a charter of Sir Robei-t Lauder, in the beginning of the
reign of King David II. He m. Ada Gifford, a dau. of the
house of Tester. He was father of
Sir David de Gray, who is designed " Nobilis vir, David
de Gray, miles," in a decree of the burgesses of Dundee, m
1348. He was father of
Sir John Gray, of Broxmouth. He had various charters
of lands in the reigns of King David II. and King Robert II.
The last of these is dated in 1376. His eldest son, John Gray,
was one of the Scottish nobles who were hostages for King
David II. in 1357. He is designed " John, son and heir of
John de Gray." He predeceased his father without issue.
Sir John was s. by his 2nd son.
Sir Patrick Gray, of Broxmouth. He had from King
515
Robert II. a charter of the lands of Longforgund, in Perth-
hire, in Feb. 1373-4. He had a grant from King Robert II.
in 1406, wherein he is styled " Dilecto consanguineo nostro
Patricio Gray," and he is herein designed " Nobili ct potenti
Domino Patricio Gray, Militi, Domino de Broxmouth." Ho
had issue several sons and daughters. One of the latter,
Margaret, was wife of Sii- William Hay, of Errol, constable
of Scotland. Sir Patrick was s. by his eldest son.
Sir Andrew Gray, of Broxmouth, who was created a
Lord of Parliament Ijefore 9 Oct. 1437, by the title of Lord
Gray of Gray. (There is a doubt, however, whether this
was the 1st lord, as the precise date of creation is not
ascertained — see Creatimi). His lordship m. 1st, Janet, dau.
of Sir Roger de Mortimer, with whom he obtained the
Barony of Foulis, and by her had a son, Andi'cw, and six
daus. He m. 2ndly, Elizabeth, dau. of Sir Walter Buchanan,
Knt., and had four sons and a dau. He d. in the j^ear

became hostages for the Scottish king James I. in 1424.
His lordship was ambassador to England in 1449 and 1451.
He d. in 1469. This nobleman obtained a license from the
cro\vii to build the strong and beautiful ca.stle of Huntly,
in the Carse of Gowrie (which his family possessed for some
ages), now called Castle Lyon, and belonging to the Earl of
Strathmore. His lordiship m. Elizabeth, eldest dau. of Sir
John Wemyss, of Rires, and was s. by his grandson,
Andrew, 3rd baron (son of Patrick, master of Gray, by
Annabella, dau. of Alexander, Lord Forbes). This noljlcman
was one of the privy council to James IV., and justice-
general of Scotland. He in. 1st, Janet, only dau. of John,
Lord Keith, son of William, Earl Marischal, by whom he

His lordship d. in 1514, and was s. by his eldest son,

Patrick, 6th baron. This nobleman m. Barbara, 4th dau.
of William, Lord Ruthven, and was s. in 1609, by his son,
Patrick, 7th baron. This nobleman possessed all the
talents of a courtier, and was distinguished by a graceful
person, an insinuating addi'ess, an unboimded ambition, and
a restless intrigumg spirit. While Master of Gray, he spent
some time in France, where he was admitted to the most
intimate familiarity of the Duke of Guise ; and on his re-
turn home to Scotland, he paid court to King James VI.
with great assiduity, obtained a great share of his favour,
and was appointed gentleman of the bedchamber, master of
the wardrobe, a privy councillor, and commcndator of the
monastery of Dunfermline, in 15S4. In the same* year, he
was sent as ambassador to England, and again in 1586, in
order to intercede with Queen Elizabeth for Queen Mary.
In 1587, he was banished from Scotland, and spent many

gens-d'arnies in France, under Lord Gordon, in 1624 ; and
was much employed in the wars there. He resigned the
heritable sheriffship of Forfarshire to Charles I., for which
he got his majesty's bond for 50,000 marks, which was
never paid. He was banished the kingdom by the parlia-
ment for being with Montrose, in 1645 ; but this sentence
does not appear to have been carried into effect. He was
excommunicated by commission of the General Assembly,
in 1649, on account of his being a Roman catholic ; and
had a fine of £1500 imposed upon him by Cromwell's
act of grace and pardon, in 1654. He was prevailed upon
by Charles II. and the Duko of York, then in exile, to
resign the lieutenancy of the gens-d'armes in Franco, in
favour of Mareschal Schomberg, which office had long been
enjoyed by Scotsmen, and never afterwards could be re-
covered. His lordship m. 1st, Anne Ogilvy, sister of the
1st Earl of Findlater, relict of James, Earl of Buchan, an d had,

Gray, by William Gray, son of Sir WiUiam Gray, of Pitten-
drum. This Sir William Gray, oi Pittendrum, had acquired
great wealth by commerce, and deserved well of the coun-
try, by improving its foreign trade. He was a loyal subject
to" king Ch.\rles I., and was imprisoned and grievously
fined by the Scottish parliament. He d. in 1043. Patrick,
